The Iceberg Kayak Morning Tour at Spencer Glacier offers an unparalleled opportunity for paddlers to explore the serene beauty of the region.

The hike onto the moraine provides a unique perspective of the stunning blue wall, offering breathtaking views along the way.

Two renowned trains - the Coastal Classic and the Glacier Discovery Train - offer a spectacular sightseeing experience, passing through the most picturesque sections of the Alaska Railroad. These historic locomotives traverse the Grandview and Tunnel segments, creating a mesmerizing backdrop against which the paddling adventure unfolds.

The guided kayak excursion covers approximately four miles, providing ample time to fully immerse oneself in the surroundings.
