Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve is a 3.3-million-acre wonderland of living glaciers, snowcapped peaks and secret coves and virgin rain forest that offer intimate encounters with humpback whales, brown bears, bald eagles and more. This UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve is part of the world’s largest non-polar ice complex. No roads reach into this wild place, so you'll explore it the way humans have for millennia—by water. A high-speed catamaran takes you up close to the faces of Margerie and Grand Pacific glaciers, which tower hundreds of feet above the surface of the water. By kayak, explore the calm waters of Bartlett Cove on a quest for whales breaking the surface. And learn about the Tlingit people who share the management of this park through exhibits and programs at Xunaa Shuká Hít, the Huna Tribal House that sits along the shoreline trail near our lodge.
