Set off on a half-day adventure when you board a deluxe expedition vessel and head into the waterways of the Alaska wilderness. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes and warm clothes and bring along a camera. Your captain will use his knowledge of the local tides, weather and seasonal considerations in choosing your route to ensure the maximum opportunity to view wildlife. Search for humpback and orca whales, porpoises, harbor seals and bears, to name a few. Then, step ashore on a remote island for a local Alaska-style beach bonfire. Learn about traditional Tsimshian Native harvesting techniques before tucking into a scrumptious feast of local favorites like reindeer sausage, an Alaskan amber beer and classic s'mores made with roasted marshmallows and handcrafted chocolate. Enjoy leisure time exploring the rainforest or tide pools. Back on board, cruise along the exquisite coastline of Tongass Narrows for scenic photos on your return to port.
