Whale And Wildlife Watching In Icy StraitExplore > United States > Icy Strait/Hoonah > Whale And Wildlife Watching In Icy Strait
OverviewIt's not just whales you'll see, but also porpoise, brown bear, eagles, and a variety of sea birds. When you skim over the cool, blue waters of the North Pacific powered by twin 250 hp outboards on a 35-foot aluminum boat and see the magnificent humpback whales set against the enormity of this Alaskan land-, sea-, and mountainscape, you will be transported back to a time when these creatures and the Tlingit people were the only inhabitants of this last frontier. Warm inside the covered, heated cabin of this vessel, you will marvel at the "language" of the whales, captured through underwater microphones. You'll get the feeling you are one with populations of sea creatures and soaring eagles, enhanced by the backdrop of the deep green temperate rain forest of southeast Alaska. This tour includes: • An awesome whale watching adventure aboard a 35' catamaran • Soft drinks • Lots of great photo and wildlife viewing opportunities! Icy Strait is a great place to see whales. There is a pod that stays in this area for the whole summer and your captain knows where they are. This fast 35' aluminum catamaran with twin 250 horsepower engines will get you to the whales quickly and take you as close as permitted for excellent viewing. Your captain will drop in his underwater microphone, so you can hear the whales "talking" to one another. You can also expect to see playful, curious sea lions, who might even come to greet you at the boat! This could be the highlight of your cruise! The boat is equipped with a restroom, heated cabin, and a table. • You may bring a snack or lunch. Soft drinks will be provided. • The boat is equipped with a restroom, heated cabin, and a table. • This boat holds a maximum of 6 people. Days offered: 7 days a week Departures:
