Who will meet me on arrival?

An awesome MT Sobek guide will meet you at the airport in Gustavus and transfer with you to the evening's accommodations within Glacier Bay National Park, only 8 miles down the road!

Is it easy to make arrangements for additional nights?

Super easy. We recommend extending your stay at the Lodge at Glacier Bay National Park or in Juneau at the Four Points Sheraton.

What wildlife do you typically see?

There are possibilities to see humpback and orca whales, porpoises, sea lions, bald eagles, puffins, moose and bears. Each new season brings a wide variety of mammals and bird species on any given day.

Will it rain while I’m in Alaska?

The weather in Alaska is quite variable, so please expect that rain may fall every day. A good sturdy raincoat is recommended.

How intense is the helicopter ride and what does it entail?

You will be in a safe and stable helicopter flown by a crew of very experienced pilots. The helicopter ride will be a quick 15 minutes from the airport to the glacier landing, with touring on the way back.
