Itinerary:

DAY 1 - Sail from Juneau
Transfer to your yacht after an included city and glacier tour. Your crew greets you with champagne and smiles, and we’ll cruise to a secluded wilderness anchorage this evening.

DAY 2 - Icy Strait
We’ll search for the telltale blow of the humpback whale as we cruise in Icy Strait today, and later all the charm of Alaska will greet us as we pull into tiny Elfin Cove. We’ll step ashore to stretch our legs and meet the people who choose to live their lives far removed from modern-day conveniences. This evening we’ll anchor in a remote bay and drop the kayaks for a paddle before calling it a day.

DAYS 3-4 - Glacier Bay National Park
Glacier Bay, at 3.2 million acres, is roughly the size of the state of Connecticut. Here, tidewater glaciers sweep like rivers of ice down massive mountain valleys, their faces terminating in the waters of the bay. We’ll spend time weaving among the floating icebergs, then enjoy our evenings at anchor in hidden coves. In the morning, we’ll paddle our kayaks in the quiet of this majestic wilderness. Throughout our visit, we’ll watch for puffins, mountain goats, bears, moose and scenery more spectacular than any place on Earth.

DAYS 5-7 - Wilderness, Whales and Hot Springs
We’ll discover the heart of Alaska’s Inside Passage during the next three days. On any given morning, we may be off in our kayaks wandering through misty coves, beachcombing around tidepools, or watching a bear with her cubs ambling along the shoreline. We’ll spend our days cruising the waters where humpback whales, Steller’s sea lions, orcas and porpoise feed and frolic. We’ll enjoy guided nature hikes and soak in natural hot springs. It simply does not get any better than this.

DAY 8 - Sitka
After arriving in Sitka this morning, we’ll transfer you to the airport for connections home.
