    Sitka, United States
    • Sitka, United States
    Welcome to Sitka-by-the-Sea. A quaint fishing town, Sitka is as endearing as it is remote, a perfect place to start you journey. (D)

    • Nakwasina Sound, Alaska, United States
    • Krestof Sound, Alaska, United States
    There aren't many straight lines along Baranof Island. Its western side is spattered with remote, uninhabited islands - endless opportunities for adventure. Secluded coves, windswept shorelines, and cliffs battered by winter storms provide ample habitat for migratory birds. Drop anchor, pick your modus operandi, and get going. By kayak, paddle board, or skiff - you're at eye-level with curious sea lions and whales in transit. Rocky intertidal zones are Alaska's touch tanks - sea stars and edible kelps abound - turn a stone or two to see what's underneath. There are no groomed trails here - get out on a guided hike that John Muir himself would approve of. (BLD) ...

    • Cruising Peril Strait, United States
    We enter Peril Strait - an infamous stretch of water rich in indigenous and Russian history. Tight channels and swirling eddies bring marine mammals to the area here to take their chances at salmon returning to their natal streams. Baranof Island is our playground for the day. Glacially carved fjords become more exposed as we approach South Baranof Wilderness. We search for the coastal brown bear and bushwhack up into muskegs that offer sweeping views across Chatham Strait towards Kootznoowoo. Whales transit the coastline in search of schools of herring and salmon that gather here in numbers beyond comprehension. (BLD) ...

    Chichagof Island, United States
    • Chichagof Island, United States
    Welcome to the west coast of Chatham Strait - one of the largest, longest, and straightest fjords on the planet. We're deep within a nutrient highway, and endless coves and glacial fjords draw unsuspecting lines along the coast. Chichagof Island is home to the coastal brown bear - supported by the lush meadows, rich berries, and prolific salmon runs. Each cove and bay hold their very own microcosm of the greater ecosystem - and your guides are getting into the granular details of the connections between place, species, and time. The time of year dictates the destination. Spring meadows are filled with wildflowers. Summer salmon runs bring bears to the freshwater cornucopia of the largest return of nutrients from sea to land on earth. Fall colors in the alders beckon the return of the Aurora Borealis. There's no "good" or "bad" time to visit this place - every season brings new surprises. (BLD) ...

    Icy Strait Point, United States
    • Icy Strait Point, United States
    The Pacific Ocean flows into northern Southeast Alaska via Icy Strait. This interface between land and sea is remote and wild. The plan for the day? Whales and marine mammals. The northern coast of Chichagof Island is rugged and filled with life. Spouts and fin slaps are certain giveaways. Sea lions surf in the swell, and birds hover over the water's surface in search of fish. Porpoises and dolphins hitch a ride on the bow of the boat as you move from cove to cove. On land, trees that pre-date the country are tucked just inside the forest edge. Bushwhack through old growth, pausing to appreciate the scope and scale of North America's Amazon. Skiff along the shoreline searching for intertidal life; paddle along kelp-threaded channels as Steller sea lions follow your party through blue waters that invoke visualizations of more tropical climes.

    Glacier Bay, United States
    • Glacier Bay, United States
    What a privilege. At 3.3 million acres this UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve is massive. In the calm of the night, the ship's crew has taken you deep into Glacier Bay National Park. It's early in the morning - hot coffee and pastries are out in the lounge - and directly off the bow is Margerie Glacier, or Johns Hopkins Glacier, depending on the time of year and ice access. Less than 1% of visitors to the park have the opportunity you are about to have - get on land with, or kayak in front of, a deep blue, mile-wide chunk of ice. The morning is intimate, calm, and inspiring. Tufted puffins, pigeon guillemots, and marbled murrelets are just a few possible sightings. Arriving at South Marble Island, you can hear and smell 'em before you see 'em - it's a haul-out for sea lions. Watch for mountain goats, and lower along shore, foraging bears. Lounging harbor seals laze on bits of bergs. (BLD) ...

    Captain's Choice, United States
    • Captain's Choice, United States
    We're in the backcountry. The Tongass National Forest is a vast, infinitely discoverable place. Your captain and expedition leader make the call on where we're headed today. The seasons and movement of critters dictate every choice we make about location. The waters are calm and inviting. The guides help you gear up and lead your adventures into the woods or along gentler terrain in back meadows and mellow shorelines. By kayak or paddle board, this is your day to get familiar with the water, enveloped in the vastness of Southeast Alaska's wilderness. Bald eagles dot the tree tops. Harbor seals bob up for air and slip under the water. Spouts from the humpback whale (or orca, if you're truly this lucky on day one) pepper the horizon line. (BLD) ...
