The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
on the Columbia - Meares Glacier Excursion

and saw a waterfall, icebergs, caves, whale tails, and a puffin.

This was the second time that the two RV Gypsies went on the Columbia-Meares Glacier Excursion because this time they had their family with them. However, the first trip has many more photos, more history, and more information about this excursion then this page does. As a matter of fact, there are 5 full pages about the first excursion, and only one page here. If you wish to experience the first trip, use red G button at the bottom of most pages and scroll down to glaciers. The two RV Gypsies also took this same excursion in 2016.

The two RV Gypsies and their family got on the boat and enjoyed the leisurely cruise through the bay heading towards the Columbia Glacier.
