The sights and sounds of the actively calving glaciers from the unique viewpoint of our ocean kayaks will indeed be the highlight of your trip! Along with safe and beautiful paddling, Blackstone has some short hikes to offer. Weather and time permitting, we can hike along the side of Lawrence Glacier for an "up close" look and enjoy one of the most spectacular views in the Sound.
