Tour Overview

Join us and experience Southeast Alaska as few can ever do! View foraging humpback whales in Frederick Sound, bears fishing for salmon in some of best areas for bear viewing in the world, float among icebergs as a tidal glacier calves into the sea, and observe Native American totem poles that express artistic craftsmanship and historical meaning.

Alaska is a vast, beautiful, and truly wild place with the highest coastal mountain range in the world. Over one-half of the world’s glaciers cover these mountains, and Alaska is one of only three places where tidewater glaciers remain. Most of the towering glaciers we will see flow from the massive Stikine Ice Field, sitting high in the Coast Mountains east of Petersburg and Wrangell.

Southeast Alaska (the “Panhandle”) offers the chance to see an abundance of wildlife. Alaska is one of the few refuges left in North America for the brown (grizzly) bear. It is calculated that on Admiralty Island, there is one brown bear for every square mile – almost as many bears as there are eagles! Humpback whales migrate north to feed on herring and masses of tiny krill when conditions are right. Each summer, several hundred whales gather to feed in these rich northern waters. When food is plentiful, the whales are active.
