Glacier & Wildlife Cruise With Beach Landing

OVERVIEW

Cruise through the island-dotted, sheltered waters of Prince William Sound on a catamaran with open decks and an enclosed cabin that will allow you to observe the stunning scenery in complete comfort. Along the way, you will cruise past two tidewater glaciers in Blackstone Bay as well as Northland Glacier, which terminates atop a rocky cliff high above the water’s surface. The captain and naturalist guide will describe this process of glaciation, the history of the surrounding area and the wildlife that you may encounter. Stellar sea lions, sea otters and puffins are commonly spotted in Prince William Sound. For a closer look at the natural beauty, the catamaran will stop at a wilderness beach for a chance to stroll along the shore, explore the tidal pools, walk through the rainforest, or just sit back and enjoy the scenery.
