LDS Alaska Shore Excursions - Tracy Arm

Tracy Arm isn't a shore excursion or even a port of call. It is scenic viewing at its best! For about 4 hours the ship sails up and then back through the Tracy Arm Fjord. You will want to be out on the deck for this adventure because the view is best enjoyed with 360 degree vision. The fjord is narrow, the waterfalls spectacular and the ice floes so thick sometimes the ship can't make it all the way to the end.

Wildlife is abundant so keep your eyes open. You might see a brown bear fishing alongside the shore, or a seal sunning on a small iceberg, or perhaps a whale. A naturalist will be on the ship and he or she will share over the loud speaker system some interesting facts about the area. You will learn about glaciers and how they formed the fjord as well as some of the "U" shaped valleys in the area.

The naturalist is also very good at spotting wildlife and directing your attention to the area where you can view them.
We are usually in this area during the morning hours so don't sleep in, you just have to see this to believe it.
