Good layers: Having fun in Alaska is all about being ready for the changing conditions. It may be sunny, rainy and windy all in the same day. Even in the summer, a good base layer (a dry wick or thin merino long sleeve) can make all the difference.

Extra rowing gear: some days we’ll row twice, or we’ll row and hike. You may want or need dry gear to change into.

Good socks

Trail shoes

The glacial lake water is cold! 43-55℉

Glacial lake winds or a Williwaw are unpredictable. A calm day can get windy with the cold air coming off the lake or glacier mixing with a stable warm front. It may be calm everywhere but the lake.

This is why our itineraries include multiple rowing locations for each day. Options will provide us the most fun and safest experience for every person.

Still, be prepared to get a little wet from time to time if the wind picks up.

We have wildlife!

Do not run from bears. Make noise, back away slowly, have your spray ready. But, if you see a bear while rowing, stop and enjoy the view! We’ll go over all best practices in our safety meeting.

As a small tour company with limited opportunity for full refunds, to best protect yourself financially, trip insurance is recommended.

You enjoy movement and exercise on your vacations! You love feeling tired at the end of a big, beautiful day on the water!

6 months rowing experience preferred, but exceptions can be made. If you have less than 6 months, but enjoy erg workouts from HydRow, Peloton, Ergatta, RowHouse, or Crossfit, then we suggest the Anchored in Anchorage. This experience provides the flexability for bad weather, or conditions that are not favorable to a newer rowers skill level.

You are physically capable of rowing/sculling or erging 10-15k in 2.5-3 hours.

You can row for leisure. We will not be prescribing any intense workouts.

You are an adventure seeking, water loving, nature type, excited to explore North America's best lakes, fjords, trails and mountains.

You are comfortable with changing weather conditions. (Morning rows are most likely to have the safest conditions.)

You can’t follow safety protocols.

You don’t enjoy rowing.

You’re not comfortable rowing with different people.

You have a rigid training schedule you expect to follow while on vacation.

You think kayaking and rowing are the same thing.

Alaska is not known for its 5-star accommodations, so if you like a pampered atmosphere you won’t find that kind of luxury here.
