With 7.5 hours on the water, this cruise allows time for the captain to seek out the best wildlife viewing opportunities in the area!
The captain will guide the vessel alongside seabird rookeries in the Chiswell Islands or Cape Resurrection, home to thousands of nesting seabirds including puffins, kittiwakes, and cormorants. You will also visit Steller sea lion colonies, where Steller sea lions gather on the rugged, rocky coastline. Whales, sea otters, Dall's porpoises, bald eagles, and mountain goats are also commonly seen along the route.
The boat will stop in front of Holgate and Aialik Glaciers where you will watch for potential calving, where chunks of ice break off and crash into the water. While on the water, we will begin providing complimentary deli lunch. This hearty deli lunch will keep you fueled for your full day of adventure on the water. Complimentary coffee, tea, and water are provided. Snacks, beverages, and full bar drinks are available for purchase during the cruise.
Children will also have the option to participate in the Junior Ranger Program to have some special fun while being educated!
