Don't miss this one!
Outstanding day trip from downtown Juneau into Tracy Arm to Sawyer Glacier!
On the way to Tracy Arm we saw humpback whales. Near the glacier there were hundreds of harbor seals and their pups on the icebergs. (We were there on July 2, 2005)
This is a small ship that gets really close to the toe of the glacier. We saw two huge chunks calf off. Amazing. You can hear the snap, crackle, pop of the melting pieces of ice.
Lots of sea birds to see on the 3,000 foot shear granite cliffs of the fjord.
Well worth the price.
The crew is friendly and very helpful. Bring your own food, though as food available on board is extremely limited. Hot beverages are available, too. Bring warm clothing as it is cool in front of the glacier. Bring rain gear, too, just in case.
