Itinerary:
DAY 1 -
Arrive in Juneau, Embark
Prior to boarding the Safari Explorer,
we'll drive out to lovely Mendenhall
Glacier. Today we cruise out into the
Inside Passage and anchor overnight
at Funter Bay.
DAY 2 -
Glacier Bay National Park
Early this morning we'll pick up a
National Park Service Ranger, then
cruise deep into Glacier Bay.
Wildlife is everywhere — humpback
whales, teeming sea birds, bears
ambling along the shorelines, moose
browsing in the shrubbery, mountain
goats high on the cliffs. Nearly
60 miles up-bay we'll cruise close-up
to the massive Grand Pacific and
Margerie glaciers, which frequently
calve huge icebergs into the bay.
Overnight in a secluded cove just
outside Glacier Bay.
DAY 3 -
Whale Watching
The waters of Icy Strait just outside
Glacier Bay National Park are prime
whale viewing waters. Humpback
whales flip their tails to dive and
occasionally even breach clear out of
the water. We may find a chance for
a skiff ride near a pod of whales.
Overnight in Sitkoh Bay.
DAY 4 -
Frederick Sound and Sea
Lions
Today we'll cruise around wilderness
Admiralty Island to more prime
humpback-viewing waters in
Frederick Sound. We'll take time for
skiff operations and sea kayaking in
Saginaw Bay, and cruise up-close to
a sea lion colony at the Brothers
Islands. Tonight we’ll anchor in
Thomas Bay.
DAY 5 -
Rain Forest Hiking and
Petersburg
Today we'll enjoy hikes in the
Tongass National Forest near
Petersburg. We'll dock at the picturesque
little Norwegian fishing village
of Petersburg and have plenty of
time for exploration on foot.
DAY 6 -
Admiralty Island — Bears
We'll tuck into Gambier Bay, a large
island-speckled body of water on the
south coast of Admiralty Island National
Monument. We'll drop the kayaks and
launch the skiff to try to spot the huge
brown bears for which Admiralty Island
is famous. Later, we'll watch for humpback
whales before reaching our
evening's anchorage.
DAY 7 -
Ford's Terror and Endicott Arm
Cliff-walled fjords sliced into the mountainous
mainland are on tap today as we
tuck into an area widely acclaimed as the
most beautiful in all of Alaska. We'll
anchor overnight at Taku Harbor to
enjoy the Captain's Farewell Dinner in
an utterly lovely setting.
