Glacier Bay Lodge is a historic National Park Service property tucked into Sitka spruce forest on the shore of Bartlett Cove, about 10 miles from Gustavus. The lodge has massive timbers, a stone fireplace, boardwalks and the Fairweather Dining Room, and it is the only place to stay inside the park.
The main activity is the full-day Glacier Bay Day Tour from the Bartlett Cove dock, which includes lunch and visits tidewater glaciers. Guests often see humpback whales, sea otters, Steller sea lions, brown bears and mountain goats. The tour boat also drops off and picks up campers and kayakers, and the park runs ranger programs and trails at the cove.
For 2026 the lodge operated from May 21 to September 8. Lodging is sold by the night, not as a package.
