About
This tour covers the most scenery and territory. We depart from the Seward airport and head east up the south fork of the Snow River to Nellie Juan Lake and then up to the Sergeant Icefield. Sliding down past massive Chenega Glacier we overfly the village of Chenega Bay which was relocated after the devastation of the 1964 earthquake. You'll see commercial fishing boats and hatcheries working one of the most productive fishing habitats on the planet. You'll hear about the intrigue and history of Montague Island and see the entrance to Prince William Sound, pathway of the endless arrivals of oil tankers headed for Valdez. Turning back to the west we'll cover the glaciers, fjords and Harding Icefield as featured in the other shorter tours.
