Whales, Bears and Glacier Adventure
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 meet your bear guides, board a van and start your search in the Tongass National Forest in search for Alaskan brown bears in their natural habitat. Where you go depends on the location that our guides have been seeing the most bears. They might take you to a boardwalk trail leading to a salmon-bearing stream or one of several clear cut areas or even to the top of a local mountain to survey a river valley. 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.
