Go beyond the ordinary with this majestic excursion, where you'll head out by boat to view various island ecosystems in Klawock's archipelago. This is a scenic voyage through pristine waterways, surrounded by lush forests, wildlife sightings, and breathtaking landscapes.
Embark a purpose-built wildlife-viewing boat at the Klawock tender dock and take your seat. Using the latest reports, your wildlife guide chooses the most active locations for wildlife sightings. Hot beverages, including coffee, tea and cocoa, are included.
Humpback whales come to Klawock's waters to feed on plankton, herring, and salmon fry for the Alaska summer. Reliant on the movement of the food source, the humpbacks move around the islands here. Their glorious presence is an unforgettable and educational experience. Sea otter groups, known as rafts, drift along with the movement of the tide. Using seaweed beds for protection and as resting spots, they look cute and cuddly, but you'll learn how sea otter populations dramatically affect other sea life habitats in Alaska.
Please note: Dress warmly in layered clothing with gloves, a scarf, and a hat; outer layer should be windproof and waterproof. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed.
