Free cancellation available

Duration: 2 hours

Jetboating is a favourite way to explore Alaska's extensive glacial rivers, and Blue Ice Jetboating takes that experience further. You will ride upriver through braided channels and past rushing rapids toward Spencer Glacier, where you may see floating icebergs and the glacier’s steep face. Along the way you’ll take in river scenery and the changing colours of ice and rock as you move closer to the glacier.

Everything is handled for you. The operation uses top‑tier jetboats and provides extra gear and light snacks. Seasoned guides who know Alaska’s rivers like the back of their hand will be on board to navigate the channels and manage the trip. This experience focuses on getting you close to Spencer Glacier’s ice and landscape while keeping the practical details taken care of.
