Safety Check!

Drysuits are Provided and Required for all Liquid Adventures trips in Bear Glacier

We provide drysuits for all of our clients as part of our Bear Glacier trips. We very rarely have clients in the water, but if it happens we want to be prepared. The water in Bear Glacier's lagoon is fed by glacier runoff, and it is kept colder than the ocean all summer long by giant icebergs. Even if the air temperature is warm, the water is still cold, so our drysuits provide the necessary safety buffer to make sure that getting wet is no big deal.

Even if you choose not to visit a glacier lagoon with us at Liquid Adventures, make sure that wearing a drysuit is part of your plan! It should be considered essential safety gear for any adventure in very cold water. (Note: we only have up to XXL drysuits. As a general rule, if you are close to or over 6'6" tall or 260lbs, you may not fit into our drysuits and cannot go on the trip. For suit dimensions, click here)

Difficulty Level

1

This trip is suitable for beginners and seasoned kayakers alike. If you are a beginner, consider that you are going to be outdoors in Seward Alaska, and that means it often rains and is cold. Be sure to dress appropriately, and remember that all of our trips do involve a lot of physical activity.

This is a truly amazing opportunity 

From the comfort of our kayaks, we'll explore the massive icebergs that are deposited by Bear Glacier, the Harding Icefield's largest glacier. 

You'll enjoy the stability of our boats in the glacier's calm lagoon while your group checks out the huge floating chunks of ice around you. 

This trip starts in our office in Seward Alaska at 8am, and often we have an afternoon trip that meets at 2pm. From there, we load up on our jet boat and start our 30-45 minute journey out to the glacier. Along the way, there's plenty of opportunities to see wildlife, and we'll keep our eyes open!

The features in the lagoon change daily and your guide will choose the best route to navigate through the maze of ice. Wildlife also varies day to day with good chances to view harbor seals and black bears. This tour lasts a little over 5 hours and departs daily.
