Join an epic adventure through icy waters to Le Conte Glacier, the USA’s southernmost tidewater glacier.
  • Enjoy an exhilarating boat ride through a breathtaking wilderness of rugged peaks and drifting icebergs.

  • Revel in the majesty of Le Conte Glacier, witness glacial calving, and explore grounded icebergs up close.

  • Look out for vibrant wildlife such as harbor seals, humpback whales and perhaps even orcas.


Through the icy wilderness 

Our journey begins by crossing the Stikine River Delta over Dry Pass, where the river’s sheer power is evident in the ever-shifting sands. Keep an eye out for migrating shorebirds along the grassland flats. Continuing towards Le Conte Bay, we’ll search for orca and humpback whales and admire the striking blue hues of grounded icebergs up close. 

Entering the narrow fjord, framed by towering cliffs, we’ll witness how glacial forces have sculpted the landscape over millions of years. Navigating through iceberg-studded waters, we’ll take in the glacier’s majesty and look out for harbor seals resting on the ice.
