The best way for visitors to see the deep fjords, spectacular tidewater glaciers, and abundant marine life of this rugged, remote park is via one of the scheduled all-day boat tours or on a camping or kayaking trip with a commercial guide .
Fishing includes saltwater, freshwater, and migrant species halibut, salmon, trout, and more.
The Exit Glacier Ranger Station offers guided walks to glaciers and the ice field, interpretive displays, and other educational programs during the summer season. Winters are rigorous, with up to 65 feet of snow per year, and although the area is open to snowmobiling, dogsledding, and backcountry skiing, winter visits are recommended only for the well-equipped and experienced.
