Whales, Bears and Glacier Adventure

Experience the perfect trifecta of Alaska's attractions: whale watching, bear viewing and a scenic flight over the glaciers of the Juneau Icefield.

Whale Watching
This tour starts with our signature 2.5 hour whale watching and nature cruise, onboard our new (for 2010) custom built, eco-tour landing craft.  This vessel is designed for your comfort with fold-in "safari" windows, a hydrophone, silent cabin heaters, a full stand up head, and two viewing decks.  You will cruise from Juneau to the Tlingit village of Hoonah, located on Chichagof Island. Some of the possible wildlife encounters include: Humpback Whales, Stellar Sea Lions, Dall's Porpoise, Harbor Seals, Killer Whales, Bald Eagles, and an assortment of shorebirds.  A tasty boxed meal will be served during your trip. 

Bear Viewing
At Chichagof Island, you will land at one of the most beautiful
beaches in Alaska, a place locals call "little Hawaii." From there you will board a van for a short transfer to a boardwalk trail leading to a salmon-bearing stream.  Your naturalist and bear guide will lead you through the Tongass National Forest in a search for brown bears and Sitka blacktail deer in their natural habitat.  Your guide will be at your side through the bear viewing experience.  You will have the opportunity to get away from the crowds, and feel what the "real" Alaska is about.  The stunning views of Chichagof Island, with the sounds of the forest and rivers will call you back for more. 

Flightseeing
From the bear viewing area, you will be transferred to the local airport to embark on a 30 minute flight-seeing tour back to Juneau.  You will have the opportunity to get a great view of the Inside Passage and the Juneau Icefield.  Some of the highlights of this flight include: Chichagof Island, Admiralty Island, Point Retreat Lighthouse, Funter Bay, Icy Strait, Lynn Canal, Herbert Glacier, Eagle Glacier, Mendenhall Glacier, Mendenhall Glacier dogsled camps, Auke Bay and possibly even a few mountain goats.
