What our customers are saying...
Lois Swanberg Magdalena took us on a tour of the glacier lake in kayaks and it was magical. She knew where all the prettiest icebergs were and was very informative and kind. The photos she took of us were amazing. Magdalena was the best! We had a great time and she was very chill to hang out with. Amit Tikoo Amazing place to stay. Highly recommenced. Place was nice and cozy. Hosts were kind enough to accommodate our last minute kayaking requests. Trent Jackson We had a chance to rent kayaks from Valdez Stay and Play the end of July. I couldn't ask for a better experience working with the owners. They really cared about making sure we had the best time we could. They even reached out to see if we could arrive early to make sure we had the right kayak and equipment for our two little girls. We have a toddler that is 21 lbs and they went above and beyond to figure out a life jacket that would work for her so she would be safe. They also made sure we had a kayak they could comfortably sit it and not want to jump out into the glacier water during the 3 hour rental. I noticed the had so many kayaks to choose from as well, so no matter what you want, they will have it. There is so much to explore in the Valdez glacier lake and the owners are great about laying out a path so you can easily see all there is. Kayaking through the ice caves was amazing and definitely something everyone should do if they are in Valdez, and should definitely do it through Valdez Stay and Play! I can't say enough about how great this company is. Antoni Narożny The house was incredibly decorated and even tho it is extremely tiny I felt like the space was managed as best as it could have been. As it is tiny it is harder to eat dinner since a proper table cannot fit Jenasey Carlo 1000% positive experience all around! Would definitely rent again! Nash Wilson Totally accommodated us when we rented a kayak at the last minute. Had a great day at the glacier lake. Dawid Olszak We stayed in Magdalenas and Jims place for a couple of days and it was amazing! We had such a great time kayaking and e-biking. Magdalena is the best guide in town! She showed us around and we really felt like locals! Kayaks were very comfortable and the e-bikes like brand new! I highly recommend this place! Thank you Valdez Stay and Play! Kamila Urbaniak Extraordinary experience! If you want to discover glaciers and feel like a local - you have to do the kayaking with Magdalena! She will show you around and explain how everything works here :) you can learn a lot about Alaska and visit places which are totally hidden gems! Leif Hansen Best service and very helpful staff! The E-bikes is a great experience! When in Valdez this is the company to use for your activities. RobearK av My son and I had a most memorable afternoon! Fat bikes up to the glacier, then a tour of the city ending at the brewery! Business owners are the sweetest most thoughtful couple you'll ever meet!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 55 reviews
