Glacier Bay Boater Orientation

This film alone is not an orientation

An orientation is required by all boat operators entering Glacier Bay. Orientations are offered in-person at the Visitor Information Station in Bartlett Cove. We will update this page with the orientation schedule closer to the 2025 season.

A Boater Permit is not valid until all operators have gone throught an annual Boater Orientation at the Visitor Information Station.
