Enjoy a magical cruise that features a relaxing ambience, and guaranteed whale viewing.
A short motorcoach ride brings you to scenic Auke Bay, where you'll board a catamaran designed for wildlife viewing. Relax in the warm, spacious main cabin as you set out to explore Stephens Passage, a pristine marine wilderness surrounded by snow-capped peaks and glaciers.
This area is world-renowned as a favored summer feeding ground for humpback whales. As whales are sighted, your skilled captain gently maneuvers the vessel to allow exceptional viewing opportunities. You'll be amazed by the gracefulness of these ocean giants as they slowly arc their massive tail flukes into the air. The whales are often close enough to hear them breathe.
An onboard naturalist will explain the behavior and habitat of the humpback whale and other wildlife you may encounter, including killer whales, sea lions, porpoise, harbor seals and bald eagles.
Notes:
Dress warmly in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer; bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf. The operator of this tour guarantees that a whale will be sighted on this excursion in June, July and August, with participants receiving a $100 cash refund from the tour operator if a whale is not sighted. In all other months, no guarantee is offered; however, the tour operator's whale-sighting success rate remains at 99%. The vessel is restroom-equipped.
