OVERVIEW

This isn’t a viewpoint walk — it’s real glacier travel. You’ll hike to Exit Glacier, gear up with your guide, and step onto the ice to explore a living, shifting landscape of crevasses, meltwater features, and sculpted blue ice in Kenai Fjords National Park.

We keep groups small and the experience hands-on: learn the basics of glacier movement and safety, then spend meaningful time on the ice with a professional guide leading the route based on conditions.

Strenuous approach. Massive payoff. Unforgettable time on the ice.

WHY KBA

Small groups (5:1) for better pacing, coaching, and photos
Fully outfitted: glacier gear provided (crampons, helmet, harness, trekking poles, daypack)
Seamless logistics: pickup available in Seward + secure luggage storage
Safety-forward glacier guides with Wilderness First Responder training
5-star rated, award-winning Alaska operator
