On this comfortable, high-speed catamaran, venture all the way up the bay's beautiful west arm. Along the way, witness the transition of plant life from the mature evergreen forest near the Lodge, to younger alder and willow growth, to the recently uncovered bare rock dotted with primitive lichens and mosses. The Spirit of Adventure, a spacious, comfortable catamaran, was designed for maximum viewing enjoyment with open top-deck viewing, interior seating and large picture windows. Whether watching humpback whales or photographing the mighty glaciers, all guests have a great view of the action. Throughout the cruise, a National Park Service Ranger explains wildlife behavior as well as the geologic features and cultural history of the Park.
Lunch is included and served on board.

Begin with an early morning flight to Glacier Bay from Juneau, Haines or Skagway.
