8 Day Meares Glacier to Columbia Glacier Tour Package

We start with a motorboat ride to the Meares Glacier and set the first night's camp. We will get in an afternoon paddle on the first day to get warmed up and comfortable in the kayaks. The ride out to Meares is a treat in itself with expansive views of Prince William Sound.

We spend the day exploring the Meares Glacier by kayak and camp at the same site as night one. Meares is one of the only advancing tide water glaciers in Prince William Sound and it offers an intense experience of calving ice, the kind of powerful calving that sends shock waves echoing across the surrounding peaks and valleys! There are also many seals and pupping sea otters in the area.

We move camp on a daily basis and enjoy mostly calm water paddling through different bays and narrow passages. Some of our favorite areas in Prince William Sound are found on this paddle (Granite and Cedar Bays to name a couple). The exact route of the paddle ranges from group to group. We have had good success at seeing humpback whales and Orca along this route. Another destination we visit, weather permitting, is Glacier Island to paddle with the sea lions at Bull head. The rugged coastline of Glacier Island is adorned with nesting birds, such as puffin and cormorants. We also start to see the floating ice of Columbia Glacier.

We paddle from Glacier Island to Heather Bay for a campsite that has a view of the Columbia Glacier. Heather Bay is another great bay that offers calm, emerald waters and is a sea otter pupping area.
