Cruise, hike, and paddle toward Davidson Glacier on a six-hour wilderness safari with chances to spot local wildlife.

About this tour

Set out from town for a wilderness journey to the immense Davidson Glacier. This six-hour Glacier Point Wilderness Safari begins with a 60-minute boat ride, with chances to spot whales, bald eagles, sea lions, and mountain goats along the way. Wildlife sightings are possible, not guaranteed.

After docking, hike a quarter mile over natural terrain to reach the canoes, then paddle toward the glacier and take in its striking scale and icy landscape. Lunch and accommodation as per itinerary are listed as inclusions. The route combines a scenic boat trip, a short hike, and time on the water for a close-up wilderness experience.

Meet your driver at the NPS Visitor Center at 2nd & Broadway in town. Participants must meet the stated age, height, and weight requirements and be able to manage the hike. Choose the Glacier Point Wilderness Safari for a memorable day exploring the waters and glacier country around Davidson Glacier.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.35 from 75 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Skagway
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.3.
