Experience Alaska’s premier attractions – glaciers and wildlife – from two very different vantage points: by land and by sea. A narrated motorcoach ride takes you to view and photograph the famous Mendenhall Glacier. At the Visitor Center you’ll have the opportunity to talk with Forest Service interpreters, and, through interactive exhibits, learn about the awesome force of glacial ice.
Back aboard the motorcoach you’ll take a scenic route through the Mendenhall Valley. At Auke Bay you’ll board a waterjet-powered catamaran specially designed for wildlife viewing. Relax in the warm, comfortable, spacious main cabin, surrounded by large windows as your experienced captain guides you through the island-studded waters of Stephen’s Passage. Against a majestic backdrop of snow-capped peaks and glaciers, the onboard naturalist will explain the behavior and habitat of wildlife you may encounter, including humpback and killer whales, sea lions, porpoise, harbor seals, bald eagles and more.
The operators of this tour guarantee you will see a whale. If not, you’ll receive a $100 cash refund per person as you disembark the tour vessel. The vessel is restroom equipped, and binoculars and souvenir route maps are provided along with complimentary snacks and beverages. To fully enjoy this excursion, be sure to bring a warm, rainproof jacket – and don’t forget your camera!
Guests should be able to comfortably walk at least 250 yards unassisted on inclined pathways to fully enjoy attractions at the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center.
