Glacier Jet-Ski Tour
Whittier, AK · May – September Small groups — big adventure! Meet your guide at our lovely log cabin on Harbor Dr. right next to the harbor launch ramp to get geared up in drysuits and safety equipment. You’ll get instructions on operations and then prepare to launch from the safety of the harbor. You’ll ride nearly 55 miles on our high-performance SEADOO watercraft (PWC) from Whittier to Blackstone Bay and back. On your Alaska jet ski tour, you may be able to view 10 glaciers including two tidewater glaciers, a kittiwake rookery and massive waterfalls coming straight out of the glacier! You’ll get plenty of time to sit in front of the glaciers watching for calving icebergs. As we skim along the water we’ll keep our eye open for seals, otters, sea lions, eagles and whales. Heated handle grips help keep riders warm as you sit in front of the glacier or on colder days.
