Search for Alaska's wildlife aboard our expedition vessel, followed by a visit to a remote beach where you'll enjoy the warm hospitality of Native camp hosts. Meet your knowledgeable captain who will use his understanding of tides, weather, and seasonal variations to design a one-of-a-kind wildlife-viewing expedition. Keep on the lookout for humpback whales, orcas, Dall's porpoise, harbor seals, bears, and eagles. Learn about the life-cycles and behaviors of these animals from your onboard naturalist. Then, journey to the remote Annette Island where you'll meet your Tsimshian Alaska Native hosts. Explore the old growth rainforest and learn traditional harvesting techniques in the intertidal zone. After the fire has been lit ( "La Gwelga Lak ") you'll savor reindeer sausage, a variety of chips, salmonberry jam, and other local delights beside the mesmerizing campfire. Roast marshmallows for s’mores with chocolate. Hot cocoa, water, and coffee will also be available onboard.
