About Valdez Stay & Play
Valdez Stay & Play is a rentals and lodging operation at 455 9th St in Old Town Valdez, giving visitors a self-guided way to explore a destination otherwise dominated by charter boats and guided tours. The business pairs comfortable in-town accommodation with an equipment fleet built around Valdez's road- and trail-accessible scenery.
Electric bike rentals are the headline offering: each booking includes an e-bike, helmet, lock, and a local route map, with delivery available anywhere in Valdez for riders who want to start from their hotel or campground. Popular rides include the waterfront, Mineral Creek canyon, and the flat valley roads beneath the surrounding peaks, and a short test-ride option lets newcomers try an e-bike before committing to a full day. Kayak rentals and guided kayak outings on protected local waters round out the summer lineup, and the attached lodging makes multi-day stay-and-ride packages simple.
As one of the only dedicated rental shops in town, Stay & Play fills the gap for independent travelers — no tour schedule, no group minimums, just gear, local advice, and Valdez's scenery at your own pace. Friendly owner-operators and delivered-to-you convenience have made it a favorite with cruise visitors and road-trippers alike.
