Arctic Reef

If you and the family already know how to ski, great. If you don't, a great place to learn and enjoy all the fun that goes with it is the Alyeska Resort. The resort features skiing during the winter months, and a great variety of other activities the whole family will love like mountain biking, hiking, scenic rides in the sky and much more. So stay at the hotel and plan your Alaskan adventure with the help of the friendly and professional staff at Alyeska Resort.

Portage Glacier Cruises makes it possible for you to get up close and see a glacier from a vantage point that would otherwise be nearly impossible. Get ready to visit the sheer, crystalline surface of an Alaskan glacier. This one-hour cruise has many highlights, including the opportunity to stand just 300 yards from a relic of the Ice Age. The water is quite calm even though you may see pieces of the glacier break off and drift away. The guides are well-informed and friendly and they also allow you time between their descriptions for you to just take in the natural beauty of these majestic, icy works of art. Tours must be booked at least 7 days in advance.
