Review:
Portage Glacier is one of Alaska’s most popular attractions, and rightly so as it’s a towering relic of the last ice age that is sure to take your breath away. Portage Glacier Cruises takes you within 300 yards, right to the face of the glacier, on the MV Ptarmigan, which is the only boat licensed to operate on Portage Lake. You’ll have a fully narrated experience so that you gain an in-depth knowledge of the glacier and its surroundings during your tour. The boat is fully enclosed and heated but has expansive windows for you to enjoy the views as ice breaks off the glacier and crashes into the water below. If you’d prefer being outdoors, opt to sit on the topside view deck so that you’ll get panoramic views while enjoying the fresh air.
