This outstanding wilderness expedition to the spectacular Davidson Glacier leads you through fjords, rainforests, colorful wildflowers and towering mountains. Your adventure begins as you board a high-speed expedition boat for the journey through North America's deepest fjord. Watch for whales, seals, sea lions and cascading waterfalls along the way to a remote beach at Glacier Point, one of the most beautiful places in Alaska. You'll board a 4-wheel drive safari bus for a short drive across the forested glacial moraines. After a quarter-mile walk, the forest suddenly opens to a breathtaking view of the Davidson Glacier. The crystal-blue ice tumbles from the jagged peaks into a pristine lake where you'll board a 31' voyager canoe to journey toward the very face of the glacier. Throughout your tour, expert guides share their extensive knowledge of this amazing area. Enjoy lunch on a beach before boarding the boat for your return trip.
