Join a cruise that offers the opportunity to observe sea otters, whales, sea lions, porpoise, harbor seals, brown bears, black-tail deer, bald eagles and a variety of marine birds. An onboard naturalist will explain the workings of this remarkable ecosystem. You'll also learn about the sea otters' recovery following their near-extinction at the hands of Russian fur hunters in the early 1800s.
The Alaskan-built expedition vessel has been designed to navigate Southeast Alaska's narrow island passages, allowing wildlife viewing at close range. The boat also features a warm cabin with enclosed seating, large windows and a topside observation deck for unparalleled photo opportunities and to fully experience your quest with all your senses.
Notes:
Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed; however, the tour operator's sea otter, whale, or bear sighting success rate is 99%. Dress warmly in layers with a wind- and waterproof outer layer; bring gloves, a scarf and a warm hat. Wheelchair access may be difficult; please consult the Shore Excursions team before booking for details. Electric scooters cannot be accommodated
