Adventure Travel Called a mariner's nightmare by those who lived there, Cape St. Elias rates as one of the most alluring places on earth. This is remote . The Light Station sits in a wind tossed grassy knoll, eighty-five feet above the sea, warning fishermen and sailors of the impending dangers posed by swelling currents and treacherous, shallow waters. Sheer rock soars 1,620 feet to the sky.
Brown bear guard the beach.
On the other side of the island, the forgotten wreckage of an old ship lies beneath the alders. With the exception of wildlife, the light is alone on this island. The Cape St. Elias Lightkeepers invite you to the challenging solitude of Kayak Island, the definitive experience in adventure travel.
