Trip details
Day 1 Sail from Juneau
Transfer to your yacht after an included city and glacier tour. Your crew greets you with champagne and smiles, and we’ll cruise to a secluded wilderness anchorage this evening.
Day 2 Tenakee Springs
We’ll search for the tell-tale blow of the humpback whale as we cruise today, and later, all the charm of Alaska will greet us as we pull into tiny Tenakee Springs, a remote fishing village tucked into Chichagof Island. We’ll step ashore to stretch our legs and meet the people who choose to live their lives far removed from modern-day conveniences. Even here, seemingly worlds away from anyone, there is a wonderful local bakery and café, so do stop in! This evening we’ll anchor in a remote bay and drop the kayaks for a paddle before calling it a day.
Days 3-5 Alaskan Gems
We’ll cruise into the heart of Alaska’s inside passage during the next three days. Greet the days with your adventurous side! We’ll kayak under sea-carved arches back in the hidden inlets, and wander through misty coves where colorful sealife clings to the intertidal rocks. We’ll explore the temperate rainforest where bears make their homes, or listen for the clear call of a Pacific loon, one of the many beautiful seabirds that migrate through this region. We’ll spend our days cruising the waters where humpback whales, Steller’s sea lions, orcas and porpoise feed and frolic. We’ll visit striking fjords, enjoy guided nature hikes and soak in natural hotsprings. Our anchorages will be guaranteed reason to pull out your camera one more time. Marvel at 2,500-foot cliffs that rise straight up out of the water. It simply does not get better than this.
Days 6-7 Glacier Country
Two of the most remarkable days lie ahead. We’ll step ashore on a massive glacial sandbar where bird life abounds. Our Expedition Leader will guide us toward the face of a glacier where we'll get close enough to touch the ice! We’ll explore this glacial wonderland, discover plants as they emerge in this newly uncovered landscape, and marvel at this vast, unspoiled landscape. We’ll also cruise slowly in an ice-filled fjord where we may get close enough to touch the ice! Hiking inside Glacier Bay is a privilege that few travelers ever experience since it is restricted to 12 guests at a time to protect the fragile environment These two days will stay with us like a magical memory for years to come. This evening, to celebrate our amazing journey in the inside passage, we’ll come together for a festive Farewell Dinner before calling it a day.
Day 8 Petersburg
After breakfast we’ll arrive in Petersburg. We’ll bid you a fond farewell and transfer you to the airport for connections home.
