How do you see Southeast Alaska's Best Sights?
Cruise with us to one of Alaska's finest wilderness sights:
Tracy Arm Fjord Glacier Cruise
Spectacular Tracy Arm Fjord, just south of Juneau Alaska, meanders into the majestic Alaskan coastal mountains for thirty tracy arm seal icebergmiles, from saltwater to glacier ice. This glacial fjord passes through nearly vertical rock walls thousands of feet high, laced
with waterfalls. Icebergs slide silently by, translucent blue against the deep green sea water. Around one more twisting bend of the chasm, lie the twin tidewater Sawyer Glaciers. The South Sawyer Glacier is one of the most fascinating glaciers in Alaska: huge chunks of ice calve off the glacier's face into the salt water on the average of once an hour. Enjoy the glacier views while we serve a hot, delicious lunch.
The scenery between Juneau and Tracy Arm's Sawyer Glaciers is rugged, picturesque, and teeming with
wildlife. Visitors, photographers, and sea kayakers can expect to see seals, porpoises, sea lions, humpback whales, and killer whales, as well as black and brown bears, deer, wolves, moose, and mountain goats.
Ford’s Terror & Dawes Glacier Cruise
Cruise from Juneau to Ford's Terror Fjord and Dawes Glacier
8:00 am Departure from Goldbelt's Seadrome dock.
Cruise to Ford's Terror and Endicott Arm's Dawes glacier, return to Juneau at approximately 5:30pm.
Ford's Terror is located 60 miles southeast of Juneau. It is named after a US Navy crewman who, in 1889, rowed a small boat into the narrow entrance of the granite fjord at low tide. When the tide rose, water was forced through the bottleneck entrance to the fjord, trapping Ford in its violent waves and massive colliding icebergs for six "terrifying" hours!
While it probably won't evoke fear, a visit to Ford's Terror today will certainly prove to be a humbling and dramatic adventure. Experiencing the contrast between the fjord's sharp granite cliffs and Endicott Arm's gentle shoreline will only enhance the feeling of awe. Allow us to guide you to a sanctuary of solitude within the walls of history!
