Perfect! UnCruise 2 Day Glacier Bay Adventure Cruise - arrangements made through Adventure Life. As we had traveled with Adventure Life previously I contacted them when we were interested in a small boat Alaska cruise. Adventure Life had the type of cruise we were interested and provided information, answered questions, and provided details. Emails received quick responses. We did the UnCruise 2 Day Glacier Bay Adventure Cruise which provided everything we wanted: small boat, activities (kayaking, hiking, ability to get close to nature. The UnCruise guides were terrific, knowledgeable and helpful. Safety was paramount. Expeditions were varied and long enough to be fun, short enough to be relaxing. Evening presentations were pertinent to what we saw or would be seeing. One evening included stories on the upper deck at sunset....wonderful. Food was excellent; the desserts were exceptional. The captain could be seen assisting kayakers into their kayaks, checking the skiffs, working with his crew. Scenery was unforgettable - from calving glaciers, sunrise on glaciers, whales alongside the vessel, This was an absolutely perfect trip.
