Prepare to be mesmerized as you cruise into Southeast Alaska‘s gem destination of untamed natural beauty. This awe-inspiring fjord extends over 30 miles, cutting through towering cliffs and pristine glaciers, making it a top choice for travelers seeking an authentic Alaskan adventure.

At the heart of Tracy Arm lies the majestic Sawyer Glacier, an active tidewater glacier that stands at 1,500 feet and extends over two miles wide. Its crystalline ice often exhibits a striking blue hue, and the resounding cracks and splashes as icebergs calve into the fjord are both mesmerizing and unforgettable.

This pristine location is located within the vast Tongass National Forest, America‘s largest, and is enveloped by the Tracy Arm-Fords Wilderness, providing a true escape into the heart of untouched nature. Tracy Arm Fjord can be accessed primarily by boat or cruise ship, with the journey weaving through narrow, winding passages, adding adventure to the trip. The fjord is subject to seasonal variations, making the best time to explore its enchanting landscapes from May to September when it is more navigable and wildlife sightings are at their peak.

Exploring Tracy Arm Fjord is a journey into the heart of unspoiled wilderness, a place where the call of bald eagles resonates through the pristine air, and the sheer grandeur of nature leaves an indelible mark on the spirit of the explorer.
