Meares Glacier Sightseeing Cruise
Nature & Wildlife
6 hours
Easy
Max 20
Cruise to Meares Glacier in Unakwik Inlet, one of Prince William Sound's advancing glaciers. Unlike most Alaska glaciers that are retreating, Meares is growing, making it a fascinating geological study. The boat spends extended time at the glacier face for calving viewing. En route, watch for humpback whales, sea otters, and Dall's porpoises. The six-hour cruise includes lunch on board. The route through Prince William Sound passes through some of the most remote and pristine scenery in Alaska. This is a less crowded alternative to the 26 Glacier Cruise with more time spent at a single spectacular glacier. Heated indoor cabin with outdoor observation decks.
