LeConte Glacier Boat Tour

4 Hours
Private Groups (up to 6 guests)

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.
