This outstanding wilderness expedition takes you past fjords, rainforests, colorful wildflowers and towering mountain scenery to the spectacular Davidson Glacier.
Your adventure begins with a 40-minute journey on Lynn Canal — North America's deepest fjord — aboard a high-speed 26-passenger expedition boat. Watch for whales, seals, sea lions, and cascading waterfalls along the way to a remote beach.
On land, you'll get acquainted with Glacier Point — one of the most beautiful places in Alaska. Here, take a short, adventurous drive along the forested glacial moraines.
A quarter-mile walk through the rainforest leads to a sudden opening and a breathtaking view of Davidson Glacier. Brilliant blue ice tumbles from the jagged peaks into a pristine lake. A 31-foot voyager canoe awaits you. Hop in, grab a paddle and cross the water for an even closer look at beautiful Davidson Glacier. Expert guides share their extensive knowledge of this amazing area.
After this fantastic teamwork adventure, enjoy a snack on the beach, surrounded by fields of wild strawberries and iris, before you return to Haines by ferry.
