The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Glide through Icy Strait's nutrient-rich waters aboard a private vessel with just six passengers — the gold standard for humpback whale encounters in one of Alaska's most productive marine corridors.
Board a float- or wheel-plane and soar over Glacier Bay National Park's tidewater glaciers, ice fields, and fjords — a perspective that simply cannot be experienced from the ground or sea.
Wade into a remote Alaskan salmon river for world-class fly- or spin-fishing while your guide scans the riverbanks for brown bears doing the very same thing — a true wilderness double-header.
Ascend Hoonah Mountain in an iconic red gondola to 1,300 feet of panoramic Southeast Alaska wilderness, then descend on the world's largest ZipRider® — a mile of pure Alaskan exhilaration.
Step inside a century-old salmon cannery turned living museum and the magnificent Huna Tribal House — a rare, authentic window into the Huna Tlingit world that has shaped this coastline for millennia.
Command a side-by-side UTV through the ancient trails of Chichagof Island's Tongass National Forest — an off-road wilderness journey through old-growth rainforest, coastal meadows, and eagle country.
