Seward Spring Wildlife Cruise
Witness the return of gray whales to Alaska waters
Gray whales migrate thousands of miles from Baja to their feeding grounds in Alaska each year! Following the coastline, the gray whales arrive in the spring to spend their summer feeding in the Arctic Waters.
Join our experienced crew for a boat ride through Resurrection Bay to the Gulf of Alaska in search of some hungry migrating whales. Your captains will teach you all about their interesting social behaviors, attitudes, and feeding techniques of not only the returning gray whales but about all of the local flora and fauna.
In addition to gray whales, watch for Steller sea lions, sea otters, DallÃs porpoises, harbor seals, bald eagles, and other whales including humpbacks and orcas. Occasionally, you will see mountain goats with their newly born kids and black bears foraging along the coastline of Resurrection Bay.
Don't forget to wear warm, waterproof layers so you can spend plenty of time on the outer decks! Complimentary coffee, tea, and water. Additional snacks and beverages are available for purchase.
