Aialik Glacier Boat Tour
Nature & Wildlife
7 hours
Easy
Max 20
This focused glacier cruise heads directly to Aialik Glacier, one of Kenai Fjords National Park's most active tidewater glaciers. The captain positions the boat in front of the glacier face for extended viewing, giving passengers the best chance to witness dramatic calving events where massive chunks of ice crash into the sea. The route passes sea lion haul-outs and seabird colonies. Lunch is served on board. The seven-hour duration provides a balance between the shorter bay cruises and the full-day expedition. This is the best choice for travelers who want to focus specifically on glacier viewing. Bring warm clothing in layers and seasickness medication if needed.
