Glacier Point Wilderness Safari

Embrace your inner adventurer by exploring the Alaskan wilds by boat, walking through a rainforest and canoeing near the face of an ancient glacier. The adventure begins by cruising the upper Lynn Canal, North America’s longest and deepest fjord. It’s an incredibly scenic area teeming with wildlife, so watch for breaching whales and frolicking sea lions. After disembarking at the beach at Glacier Point, you will drive through a rainforest and then walk through the wonderfully serene woods. Before long, the gentle trail will open up to a panoramic view of the pristine Davidson River and Davidson Glacier. The glacier is even more unforgettable up close, as you will discover by paddling a canoe toward its sheer face. On the approach, the details will sharpen, and you will enjoy a closer view of the intense blue of the ice, the deep crevasses and the mountain’s granite walls that frame the glacier.
