Glacier Bay National Park Whale Watching
Glacier Bay National Park is one of the best places in Alaska to see whales, particularly humpback whales, which return each summer to feed in its nutrient-rich waters. The park’s remote, protected environment creates ideal conditions for marine life, and visitors frequently witness humpbacks breaching or performing bubble-net feeding. Watch for a humpback whale breaching against towering ice or bubble feeding, or spot an orca pod gliding through the fjords.
