Next, arrive in the Portage Valley, where you’ll stop at Explorer Glacier, Middle Glacier, and Byron Glacier. Board the MV Ptarmigan boat for an hour-long cruise on Portage Lake. Marvel at glaciers up close, including Portage Glacier, and admire the majestic mountainous landscape.

Take the chance for an optional lunch stop after the cruise, before heading to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.
