About
In partnership with the Alaska Railroad, our Spencer Glacier kayaking tour explores Spencer Lake and the edge of the glacier. This is an amazing Glacier location to experience and learn about blue ice, up close and personal, on this glacier kayaking tour! This half-day tour is an excellent way to experience the wilderness away from the crowds.
Getting to the Glacier
The Spencer Whistle Stop and Glacier are located just South of Portage Valley and the Turnagain Arm in the Kenai Mountains and the Chugach National Forest. It is entirely off the road system, so we ride the scenic Alaska Railroad from Anchorage or Girdwood with breathtaking views of glaciers and towering alpine peaks. This Anchorage kayaking trip is one of the best ways to see a glacier up close.
