Birders,
photographers, and nature enthusiasts
should look into one of Mariah’s
custom tours. This Alaska Native-owned
company provides an intimate wildlife
experience aboard a small ship, customized
to search out specific wildlife encounters.
You’ll go where other cruises
don’t and see more of the species
you really want to see.
The only
way to see towering Portage Glacier—one
of Alaska’s most-visited attractions—is
to travel with this company. You can’t
even see it from the visitor’s
center anymore. So get on board this
one-hour round-trip cruise, which is
narrated by a representative of the
U.S. Forest Service and takes you within
300 feet of Portage Glacier.
Explore the most road-accessible glacier in Southcentral Alaska with the Seward Windsong Lodge. Their two-hour naturalist-led walk
explains what’s really happening inside the blue
crevasses, and you’ll also learn about the area’s botany
and wildlife while walking on the trails.
No
roads lead to Spencer Glacier.
Fortunately, the Alaska Railroad
does. Combine a scenic rail trip
with a gentle float tour led
by Chugach Adventure Guides. They'll
guide you through the iceberg-choked
Spencer Lake and down the Placer
River, which shoots out from
under the glacier.
"Don't miss a cruise into
Prince William Sound. People are out there with their mouths
open. They've never seen anything like it-I don't care where
they've gone."
