In your cruise up Glacier Bay, you will track the retreat of the glacier and see a textbook example of the developing ecosystem. On the way, you'll see a profusion of wildlife - nesting puffins, cormorants and other seabirds, seals, a sealion rookery, otter and maybe even a whale. You might be lucky and catch sight of a moose, bear, goat, or wolf. But the most spectacular part of the trip is the unfolding of the developing ecosystem in the path of the retreating glaciers. There is a naturalist on board to explain and answer questions.
Lunch is provided and there are beverages available all day.
Day trip aboard the Crystal Fjord - this is the boat that takes kayakers and campers into the bay. Because of time constraints, they do not go all the way to the head of the bay. One way on the boat costs less, but you must allow at least 4 days for the paddle back to park headquarters if this is your plan.
