Sample Itinerary:

Day 1: Our van will pick you up early in the morning from your local accommodations and transport you to our company warehouse for a safety briefing and gear orientation. We will then head downtown to the Adventure Bound boat dock, load our kayaks/gear, and enjoy a two hour boat cruise down Stephens Passage to the entrance of Tracy Arm. From there, we will do a half-day paddle before setting up camp for the night in a glacially carved valley beside a flowing river. 

Day 2: The day will be spent kayaking deeper into Tracy Arm Fjord towards the Sawyer and South Sawyer glaciers while taking in the scenery and looking for wildlife. 

Day 3: We will wake up early to paddle amongst the icebergs and get a closer look at the glacier from the kayaks. We will then start to paddle back towards the mouth of Tracy Arm. In the early afternoon, we will board the Adventure Bound boat with our kayaks and then enjoy an even closer look at the glaciers from the safety of a larger vessel. After sightseeing, the Adventure Bound boat will return us to downtown Juneau in the late evening and then we will celebrate!
