Description

Mornings at Spencer Glacier are the most serene and consistently magnificent time to paddle. Kayak around icebergs as you make your way toward the Spencer Glacier terminus face. Hike onto the glacier moraine for a closer look at the blue wall of ice. Enjoy two Alaska Railroad trains: the Coastal Classic and the Glacier Discovery. Travel through the most scenic valley and tunnel sections of the AK Railroad. The total iceberg kayak paddle distance is approximately 4 miles. Please let us know your experience level so that we can tailor your Alaskan glacier kayak tour to your party’s ability and ambition. A minimum of 2 guests is needed to book.
