If a whale is spotted, have the option to jump into a kayak straight from the boat and join them in their journey.
Explore Southeast Alaska in an intimate small group with adventure, wildlife viewing, and more! From both water and land, you may see humpback whales, harbor seals, Steller sea lions, Dall’s porpoise, harbor porpoise, orca, numerous bird species including bald eagles and blue heron, and deer or river otters along the shore.
Throughout this trip, your expert guides and boat captain will share their local knowledge of the area and interesting information about the wildlife and their behaviors.
Be prepared to take in the beauty of glaciers off in the distance and the majestic mountains of the Chilkat and Coast Ranges. Once back at the harbor, a van will be awaiting your return to drive you back to Juneau.
