Spend a full day on a catamaran exploring glaciers and wildlife with Glacier Bay Lodge and Tours—the only scheduled day tour permitted inside stunning Glacier Bay National Park.
Explore the West Arm of Glacier Bay
On a comfortable, high-speed catamaran, you’ll set off amid lush rainforest and sail the entire length of Glacier Bay’s West Arm, in the shadow of towering mountains. Your destination: two tidewater glaciers, Margerie and Grand Pacific—ancient rivers of ice that climb 245 feet above the ocean—where you’ll watch huge chunks of ice calve off and splash dramatically into the water.
Comfortable Catamaran & Ranger-Led Narration
The 150-person catamaran comes fully enclosed and heated with large windows; you can also stand outside on the big deck to take in the sights and sounds. A park ranger will be on board to answers questions and fill you in on the flora, fauna, and geological history of Glacier Bay.
Look for humpback and orca whales, Steller sea lions, harbor seals, coastal bears, moose, and birds like puffins and eagles.
Wildlife Sightings
Along the way, keep an eye out for the rich trove of wildlife that calls this area home: humpback and orca whales, Steller sea lions, harbor seals, coastal bears, moose, and birds like puffins and eagles. You’ll stop at an island where sea lions like to rest and an area that’s a favorite hangout for mountain goats. Binoculars are provided.
Onboard, you’ll dig into a lunch of sandwich, chips, and a cookie. You’ll also enjoy coffee, tea, water, and lemonade throughout the cruise.
