Does Backcountry Safaris supply dry suits?
Yes, we supply dry suites and this is beyond the normal standards and practices of most sea kayaking tour companies in Alaska. Backcountry Safaris feels that the additional cost of providing you a dry suit is worthwhile for your comfort in Alaska cold water. Dry suits can help protect you from hypothermia and cold water shock. Also if the weather turns wet a dry suit will add warmth and a comfort level you would not think possible in this maritime environment. Please read our hypothermia web page for more information on hypothermia and cold water shock.
