Area currently closed due to rockslide/tsunami hazard.
Day 1- Arrive in Whittier by 10:00 AM. We will pack our gear into dry bags and your guides will offer an initial orientation. We will water taxi to Hobo Bay, load our kayaks, and paddle into the protected waters of Barry Arm and Harriman Fjord. We will set camp at Toboggan Beach, across from Surprise Glacier.
Day 2 & 3- After breaking camp, we will explore Surprise Glacier then paddle into the ice arena of Barry, Cascade, and Coxe glaciers. We will set up base camp at an interim beach for nights two and three. There is much exploring to be done from here. Harriman, Surprise, and Serpentine Glaciers are stunning actively calving walls of ice. Piedmont glaciers abound here as well, offering some spectacular hiking.
Day 4- We will break camp and paddle to Harrison Lagoon for a water taxi pick-up that will bring us back to Whittier by mid-afternoon.
