Glacier Jet Alaska Video »

Zoom up and down 30 miles of glacial river in under 2 hours with Glacier Jet Alaska, hanging on as your jetboat skims the water, zips around icebergs, and gives you a thrilling ride. It's a great way to get a unique view of the Alaskan backcountry and the towering peaks of the Chugach Range. But this is no float trip-it'll make your heart race.

Step into a 24-foot jetboat, custom crafted for the glacier-fed, log-strewn, boulder infested Twenty Mile River, and hang on as your boat takes off upstream. Keep an eye out for all sorts of wildlife: bald eagles, moose, bear, and Mt. goats are commonly viewed on this adventure. With the powerful engine straining against the current, you'll reach remote, glacier-fed Carmen Lake.

Your captain will then cruise the perimeter of the emerald green lake pointing out the numerous hanging glaciers and waterfalls. With conditions permitting, you'll push on to the even more remote Twenty Mile Glacier, where you'll motor right up to the glacier's face.

Then hang on-as you zigzag amongst the icebergs and thread your way through the boulder fields downriver and back to the banks of the river.

While the pace is certainly thrilling, the ride offers more than just speed: it's a great way to experience some of Alaska's wildest backcountry. And, never let the weather discourage you or keep you inside, because they will provide the raingear.
