Package Overview

Paddle around magnificent icebergs and up close to the Spencer glacier terminus face. Hike onto the Glacier Moraine and get up close to the glacier blue ice. Enjoy two Alaska Trains: The Coastal Classic & the Glacier Discovery Train, traveling thru the most scenic Grandview & Tunnels sections of the AK Railroad. We recommend the Morning Tour as you get additional paddling time and get to go kayaking first. The Morning Tour is only available on Sundays thru Thursday.

This is one of my favorite trips. Mornings spent kayaking out on Spencer Lake are like no other time of day; the water is glass, the air is calm, and the ice is a brilliant blue in the early light. This trip allows time to really explore the Spencer Valley, and small groups mean that as a guide, I am able to connect more with each guest. Emily Decker – Chugach Adventures Lead Guide from Anchorage, AK.

A perfect paddle for beginners and expert paddlers. There is no tidal influence at Spencer Lake and the morning and evening paddles tend to be calm and beautiful. The total paddle distance is approximately 3 miles. Please let us know your experience level, so that we can tailor your kayak tour to your parties ability & ambition. This tour if often private to the booking party. Minimum of 2 guests needed to book.
