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.

DAY 8 - Disembark Juneau
Transfer to the airport or your hotel.
