The Wildlife Tour is an hour long overflight of several glaciers and the Harding Icefield. Along the way you will almost certainly see harbor seals on ice, mountain goats and bears. Sometimes even whales. The hour trip gives Jim time to scout the animals' locations and to circle them for pictures. You will see at least Bear Glacier, Aialik Glacier, Pederson Glacier and Exit Glacier.

Arrive Early for Check-In
