Tracy Arm & Sawyer Glacier

Fjord and Glacier by Boat Discover an incredible fjord in a mountainous, riverine landscape of cliffs, waterfalls and glaciers. Board a heated, high-speed expedition vessel and set sail to a spectacular, untouched wilderness only accessible by boat. Watch for marine and wildlife such as whales, seals, mountain goats and black bears as you wind past snowcapped mountains, forested canyons, towering cliffs and awe-inducing 1,000-foot waterfalls on your way to the Tracy Arm fjord. Here, travel through roughly 30 miles of clear waters dotted with icebergs to see the majestic Sawyer Glacier, bright blue and rising between mountains. Your captain will take you to the best spots for unparalleled views and photos along the way. If you are lucky, you may get to witness a calving glacier, as a piece of ice makes a thunderous entry into the waters below. Once back on land, your will return to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
