They also feature heated cabins and large windows for viewing, and a spacious back deck, tables and a galley -- ideal vessels a scenic jet-boat ride through the pristine wilderness. Your Alaskan guides create an exceptional tour experience, sharing the geology and natural history of the area while ensuring your comfort each step of the way.
Depending on the tides, you will make your way to Le Conte Glacier or Shakes Glacier. Step onto the back deck to breathe in the crisp glacial air and immerse yourself in the nature that surrounds you.
You'll cruise through iceberg-studded waters on your way to the face of the glacier and listen and watch for chunks of ice calving from its face. This encounter with nature is quite mesmerizing.
Inside, warm up and indulge in hors d' oeuvres, featuring wild Alaskan smoked salmon, with still and sparkling wines.
