5:13 PM LOCAL TIMEEndicott Arm is a spectacular fjord carving through southeast Alaska, just south of Juneau. It is renowned for its steep granite walls, which rise sharply from the water and are dotted with waterfalls and hanging glaciers. The most famous glacier, the Tarrant Glacier, terminates in the fjord, often calving ice into the blue waters and offering dramatic close-up views that can be seen from boats and aircraft. Visitors typically access Endicott Arm via cruise ship transit, floatplane flights, or experienced kayak trips, combining opportunities for wildlife viewing — including panٌed salmon, sea otters, and migratory birds — with dramatic glacial landscapes. Anchoring or landing options are limited; most excursions involve close-quarters sailing or viewing from above, emphasizing respect for the fragile environment and changing marine conditions.
