The Expedition

Drive yourself to a tidewater glacier.

No jet ski experience is required. We take lots of people who have never driven a jet ski before, and our guides are well trained at getting people comfortable. It's a 60-mile round trip, going 35-55mph on the ocean.

When does the wildlife show up?

Unfortunately, we can’t plan the wildlife! Most trips we’ll see sea otters, sea lions, kittiwakes and other birdlife. Occasionally we’ll see whales, bears and even mountain goats.

Meet the family that makes this dream possible

Glacier Jetski Adventures is owned and operated by Charlie and Rebecca Howard with their young children Mason and Izzy. Their loyal Alaskan mutt Oso completes this small Alaskan family guiding service.

It was their dream to create a unique Alaskan adventure and together they opened the first jet ski tour company in Alaska. Every day on the water is living the dream for them and they love sharing that dream with you! They welcome you to join their young family on the waters of Prince William Sound so they can show you the Alaskan adventure you've been waiting for!

"TRULY ONCE IN A LIFETIME"

"It’s a good thing they don’t have a “pay what you think it’s worth” policy because I would’ve emptied my bank accounts after doing this. One of the most incredible experiences, truly once in a lifetime. There are so few places in the world you can do something like this, so if you’re in Alaska and thinking about it, JUST DO IT."
