- Where else in the world can you kayak to a glacier? Alaska is one of those few places where you can do that! I've had this on my Alaska bucket list for so long! and the day has arrived! Except this is Alaska. Its wild and unpredictable. And we got ourselves in the most dangerous situation we've ever been in. This was our experience kayaking on Portage Lake to Portage Glacier in Alaska. Don't do what we did in this video.

loved your account. Jane (my better half and I [Achim]) found ourselves in a similar situation on Flathead Lake a few years ago when the waves started white caping. It is a bit scary. We hugged the shore as best we could. Thanks for sharing your journey,
Just a suggestion, always check the weather when paddling on any lake or body of water in Alaska. The wind can change and cause the waters to become rough. Living in Alaska for many years, it's just good practice.
Portage Lake has receded a lot.
This was very scary. Julie that look on your face was enough to say you were very scared, but let me tell you both it was one of the epic Kayaking adventure. The closer look at waterfalls, and then the spectacular view of the Glacier and the icebergs. Wow! Even the cruise did not get that closer look. You guys did risk it but it was worth it. I have enjoyed watching. You both deserve a big Like 26 👍 and of course a new subscriber, who wants to watch more 😊 Thank you Nick and Julie 🤗🤗
Oh yes I am not exaggerating when I said that is the scariest thing we’ve done. I didn’t want to film anymore but I had already filmed most of the adventure so it would have been a shame to quit now. But paddling among those icebergs was a dream come true. I always wanted to get a chance to do that in Alaska! And here we are actually experiencing it. And it was surreal! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. And welcome to the channel!!! 😊
Wow, what an experience! We are so glad you are safe and thanks for the great video!
Definitely! One of the best and scariest things we have done. Now I’m glad I made myself keep filming. Thanks for watching!
That was incredible footage. Absolutely beautiful. Those glacier pieces remind of portuguese man of war jelly fish.
It’s some of the most beautiful scenery of our trip 🤩 And the most scary of our trip. But all’s well that ends well 😃 oh yes they do remind me of the jellies floating around!
Welcome to AK. This place doesn't care, it will kill you if your not prepared so pay attention to what is going on around you at all times. the weather flows right over portage pass and will hit that lake with a vengeance. I have been out there when it has done it. good ya made it.
That was scary. Be careful. Have fun❤❤❤❤❤
Spectacular views, something so extraordinary and beautiful about Alaska..Thanking Jesus for your safe return and very much appreciated for sharing your precious moments in your travel volgs👌🏼🙏🏽Remain blessed.🇬🇧
We completely agree! Alaska is a special place. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. We love sharing these moments with viewers like you!
excellent, your video is always nice
Thank you! 😃
That’s too scary for me to watch 😅😅
Oh no 🙈 I should’ve put a warning at the beginning of this video too 😆
Sorry that both of your wife's arms are broken. It would have been much easier for two people to "hurry" back ahead of the gale!
But then who would have filmed? 😢
The drone!@@NickandJulie
@@GeorgeGeorge-yb2sz 🤔🧐🤨 she would have to operate the drone tho & again would have been useless for paddling 😭😭😭
You need a different drone.
My DJI Mavic 3 Pro will track so you can paddle!
@@GeorgeGeorge-yb2sz well of course better filming equipment would be nice George. I’d love a new drone and camera.

It’s beautiful but not for me I think you guys are crazy quite frankly
I don’t blame you. That was crazy 😆 what we’re doing next after Alaska might be more of interest to you if this isn’t for you. New series will start in January!
