Glacier Kayak Adventures

Paddle through pristine glacier waters on the Glacier Blue Kayak & Grandview Tour — the most serene and consistently magnificent way to experience Spencer Glacier. Kayak among drifting icebergs and up close to the glacier terminus face, hike onto the moraine to touch the blue ice wall, and ride two iconic Alaska Railroad trains through the breathtaking Grandview and Tunnels sections of the route.

For the ultimate Spencer Glacier experience, combine both adventures in one epic day. Start the morning with a 3-mile kayak paddle around icebergs and up to the glacier face, then spend the afternoon rafting 7 scenic miles down the Placer River — finishing with a pickup by the Glacier Discovery Train right on the riverbank. It’s the best of both worlds in a single unforgettable trip.

Looking for something truly exclusive? Our Helicopter Glacier Blue Kayak & Grandview Tour is our most action-packed private adventure. The experience includes a breathtaking 20-minute scenic flight over the glaciated Chugach and Kenai Mountains, a 2.5-mile hike, a 2-to-4-mile iceberg kayak paddle, and a scenic train ride to Grandview — all in one extraordinary day in Wild Alaska.

Whether you’re paddling among icebergs at dawn, rafting a wild glacier river, or soaring above the Kenai Mountains by helicopter, Spencer Glacier delivers the kind of Alaska adventure that stays with you long after you’ve returned home. These are the experiences that define a trip to the Last Frontier.
