Itinerary:

DAY 1 - Sail from Juneau
Step aboard the Safari Legacy where champagne and hors d'oeurves are served with a smile. We'll cruise south, leaving the city lights behind and anchor in a wilderness cove.

DAY 2 - Glaciers and Fjords
The Dawes Glacier, located 30 miles into Alaska's coastal mountains, is our destination this morning. We'll board the high-speed tender to weave through icebergs and watch seals and sea birds at home in their wilderness fjord. Later, we'll go kayaking as the day draws to a close while our yacht lays at anchor.

DAY 3 - Ford's Terror Wilderness and Stephens Passage
Today we'll take our time viewing majestic scenery, visiting remote inlets and watching for eagles, bear, deer and seals. Later we'll cruise through Stephens Passage, keeping a sharp eye out for humpback whales.

DAY 4 - Frederick Sound and Keku Islands
We'll be in prime whale waters today. Our Expedition Leader will discuss these gentle giants with us, revealing how and where they live and why this area is so rich in whales. Step ashore for a guided nature walk, or spend your time kayaking around our scenic anchorage this evening.

DAY 5 - Waterfalls, Warm Springs and Fishing
Discover what others rarely see "off the beaten path" of Southeast Alaska. We'll explore hidden coves and impressive fjords along the remote shores of Kupreanof and Baranof islands. Later, we'll stop into the tiny hamlet of Warm Springs Bay where we'll hike to a pristine lake or soak in the natural warm springs. Perhaps, after dinner you’ll want to drop a fishing line!

DAY 6 - Tenakee Hot Springs
A town with no roads and a population of 100 is our destination today. Retirees and artists, along with bald eagles and black bears, call Tenakee Springs home. We'll take time to stroll the boardwalk and talk with the locals before anchoring in a hidden cove.

DAY 7 - Elfin Cove and Fishing
Welcome to the "real Alaska." Elfin Cove, tucked away in a nook on the shoreline, boasts a population of about 30. We'll discover what life is like here before venturing out to fish and search for humpback whales. Tonight we'll celebrate with a festive Farewell Dinner.

DAY 8 - Juneau
After breakfast this morning, we'll transfer you to the Juneau airport for connections home.
