Tidewater Glacier Photography

This tour is designed for photographers, videographers and other guests particularly interested in taking advantage of the beautiful lighting in LeConte Glacier Fjord late in the day! We will share our years of experience to help you get aligned for that perfect shot and give you extra pointers on photographing Alaska’s magnificent glaciers and icebergs. You’ll never feel rushed as we spend as much time as we need to capture the perfectly composed image.

LeConte Glacier Bay is a 12 mile-long fjord that has been carved out of the surrounding coastal mountain range by glaciers over the course of thousands of years. The tidewater glacier is very active and is constantly fracturing, calving and filling the bay with hundreds of icebergs. The fjord is a magical place to explore with its thundering waterfalls, hidden coves and 2500 foot rock walls that have been polished by the ice.

While harbor seals are present throughout the year, May-June is generally pupping season so is a great time for viewing harbor seal pups and bald eagles. Mountain goats often adorn the rock walls throughout the summer season.

We limit our tours to private groups of up to 6 guests for a personalized experience. All tours include tons of natural history information!

SPECIAL NOTE: Due to the rising fuel costs, there may be a fuel surcharge that will be calculated and added to your subtotal on the day of your trip.

Our itinerary is flexible, and we will travel by powerboat up the LeConte Glacier Fjord to the face of the tidewater glacier (ice permitting). In addition to icebergs and the glacier, we may see sea lions, mountain goats, harbor seals, porpoises, and a variety of sea birds. We will customize the trip to capture those perfect shots you’ve been dreaming of! The boat cabin is heated, but please expect cool temperatures at the glacier and dress accordingly as you’ll be spending most of your time on the deck capturing the magnificent scenery.
