Join the fun on this epic five-hour adventure to the Norris Glacier!

Packrafting is swiftly becoming one of the fastest-growing sports in Alaska. After being outfitted with the appropriate gear and safety briefing, you'll be transported to your nearby six-seater floatplane. Take to the skies on a thirty-minute scenic flight out to the Norris Glacier. The scenic flight will head towards the mouth of the Taku Inlet, a gateway to the flowing glaciers of the Juneau icefield.

After your pilot lands the craft on the Norris Glacier-fed lake, disembark and get ready to begin a hike over glacially carved terrain to a cove where your packraft awaits. From here, you will be outfitted in your single-person packrafts and introduced to paddling techniques by your guides. Once you launch your packraft, your paddle to the glacier will take you past icebergs, all while taking in the stunning mountain and glacier landscapes around you.

As you approach the glacier, prepare to beach your boat right on the Norris Glacier, your guide will assist you in getting out of your packraft and into micro-spikes. Explore the moonscape-like area of the glacier all by foot and get panoramic views of Norris and Taku glaciers. Look for crevasses, glacier pools, moulins, and other incredible ice features. Glacier features come and go throughout the season, just like the ebb and flow of our glaciers. Upon completion of your glacier hike, slide back into your packraft and paddle back to shore. Your floatplane awaits to take you back to Juneau after what is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
