Creator's Key Takeaways

excursions in Alaska are pricey no matter how you book them but there is a way to explore glaciers spot whales and save some serious cash

it was myself my husband and my son and it turns out there was just one other couple with us there were only five of us

this was a way to see menden Hall Glacier in a totally new way

we highly recommend that you get out there and enjoy the natural beauty of these two very special ports Sika and Juno
