Itinerary



Day 1 - Day 1 Sitka
Welcome to beautiful Sitka — the only community in Southeast Alaska that faces the open ocean waters of the Gulf of Alaska. We encourage you to arrive early and explore the community’s rich culture, history, and biodiversity. In the evening after embarkation, unwind and take in breathtaking scenery while keeping an eye out for bald eagles, sea otters, bears, whales, and other wildlife.
Day 2 - Day 2 Remote Baranof Island/Chatham Strait
Spend the day exploring remote Inside Passage wilderness. Hike a rainforest trail featuring towering spruce and hemlock trees and lush undergrowth. Your knowledgeable guide will provide commentary on the indigenous plants and wildlife of the area. Explore Chatham Strait alongside Baranof Island’s charming shoreline dubbed “The Waterfall Coast” and savor an opportunity to kayak a protected bay in the area.
Day 3 - Day 3 Frederick Sound
Scout for humpback whales and other marine mammals in Frederick Sound. Humpbacks are famous for behavior that lends itself to incredible viewing and photography, such as tail lobbing, lunge feeding, pectoral slapping, breaching, and picturesque dives that showcase their massive flukes. Other opportunities for in-depth exploration include the protected waters or shores of Security Bay, Skanax Bay, Pybus Bay, The Brothers islands, or another beautiful wilderness location.
Day 4 - Day 4 Wrangell
Enjoy several options to explore the colorful history of Wrangell, including a trip to the town’s impressive museum. Visit the intriguing state historic park, Petroglyph Beach, which contains the highest concentration of petroglyphs in Southeast Alaska. Choose from a guided hike on the Rainbow Falls Trail or time to explore town on your own.
Day 5 - Day 5 Wilderness Adventure
Your captain and expert expedition team will select the day’s remote wilderness adventure based on factors like weather and wildlife sightings in the area. Whether you’re lacing up your boots for a wilderness hike or beach trek, or grabbing a paddle to navigate remote shorelines, one thing’s for sure: you’re in for an unforgettable Alaska adventure that is tailor-made for your group.
Day 6 - Day 6 Tracy or Endicott Arm
Journey through Tracy or Endicott Arm in the Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness, a place the famous naturalist, John Muir, referred to as, “A wild, unfinished Yosemite.” Renowned for its glaciers, pristine waterfalls, towering icebergs, abundant harbor seals, and granite cliffs that rise from sea level to 4,000 feet, this wilderness is often referred to by locals as one of the most scenic areas in the state.
Day 7 - Day 7 William Henry Bay
This stretch of water is fantastic habitat for an array of famous Alaska wildlife, including humpback whales, porpoises, sea lions, and more. Options for exploration will include places like scenic St. James Bay, Berners Bay, or our exclusive, 160-acre property in William Henry Bay. Regardless of location, you’ll savor the peace of a wilderness oasis.
Day 8 - Day 8 Juneau
Disembark in Juneau, the beautiful capital city of Alaska. Transportation to your hotel or the airport is complimentary on the day of disembarkation. We encourage you to spend some time exploring the capital on your own. The town boasts a vibrant culinary scene, local breweries, distilleries, cultural centers, museums, a tram, the Mendenhall Glacier, and more.
