If you crave a taste of Alaska's wilderness, this trip is for you! This 6-hour tour is an incredible experience that takes you face-to-face with a massive glacier in one of the most spectacular settings on the planet.

Your adventure begins as you explore the rugged beauty of Alaska's deepest fjord from a custom marine vessel designed for wildlife viewing. Watch for whales and sea lions en route to a remote beach at Glacier Point. After a short drive and a quarter-mile hike, you'll board a 31' voyager canoe and paddle across an iceberg-studded lake to the face of a glacier that grows ever larger and more massive as you approach.

Throughout your tour, expert guides share their extensive knowledge of this amazing area. Hike back to the bus. After a 20-minute drive, a tasty box lunch will be served. Then relax and enjoy the cruise back to Skagway and your ship.
