Our second excursion took us to Paradise Bay, a stunning harbor surrounded by mountains and glaciers. If you're quiet and embrace the peacefulness, you can hear the rumbles of icebergs calving all around the bay. It's spooky and surreal all at the same time.
While we didn't see a ton of wildlife in the water, we saw plenty of penguins on shore and lots of other birds on the edges of the cliffs. This was a really fun place to kayak because of all the ice floating in the bay. You could dodge the big chunks or just run into the little bits for fun. It's such a different experience to be on that level, in a low-riding kayak. You're right there on the water, and you can reach out and touch the ice as it floats by, or bravely stick your hand in the freezing water to see how cold it really is. I would encourage everyone who has the opportunity to kayak (and feels comfortable doing so) to ABSOLUTELY do it. You won't regret it!
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
