Board an exclusive private charter into the heart of Glacier Bay, venturing into secluded inlets and coves that scheduled tours never reach. Witness calving tidewater glaciers, humpback whales, and stellar sea lions in utter, privileged silence.
What to expect
Depart from Gustavus aboard a private vessel crewed by expert local naturalists who read the bay's wildlife rhythms like a second language. Push deep into the upper bay toward Margerie and Grand Pacific Glaciers, pausing wherever calving or wildlife demands. Guests enjoy personalized commentary, unhurried wildlife stops, and the rare luxury of genuine solitude inside one of America's most spectacular national parks. Return to port with the kind of photographs — and memories — that no shared tour can replicate.
Good to know
Pre-book well in advance; private charters fill early in summer. Confirm departure point and logistics with Bear Track Inn directly relative to your ship's all-aboard time. Gustavus is accessible only by boat or small plane from Juneau. Dress in warm, waterproof layers regardless of season.
