| 4 / 5 Days Harriman Fjord Kayaking Tour from Whittier |
| Harriman Fjord, Prince William Sound |
|
| The waters of Harriman Fjord are the most protected from winds in all of Prince William Sound. The fjord is like a magical lake. Harbor seals, sea otters, orca whales, black bears, mountain goats, and bald eagles live and play in these beautiful waters. Two mountains rise above 7,000 feet and five magnificent glaciers cascade into this amazing fjord that John Muir visited as a member of the Harriman Expedition. As we paddle our way around this fjord you will travel through floating ice and "bergy bits" as you watch the glaciers' thunderous dance of destruction. We relax on a black sand beach with blue glaciers on three sides to enjoy the incredible ice show from a new perspective. Let our guides lead you on a hike through the verdant rain forest as we enjoy the many wild flowers, berries, views, and memories we gather along the way. Join us and witness the beauty, excitement, and history of the area. Let our guides make this vacation unforgettable. |
