• FULL DESCRIPTION

  Enjoy a magical evening cruise that features guaranteed whale viewing, and great food!  Following a short motorcoach ride to scenic Auke Bay, you’ll board a deluxe catamaran specially designed for wildlife viewing.  Relax in the warm, spacious main cabin as you set out to explore Stephen’s Passage, a pristine marine wilderness surrounded by snow-capped peaks and glaciers.  This area is world-renowned as a favored summer feeding ground for humpback whales.

  As whales are sighted, your skilled Captain will gently maneuver the vessel to allow exceptional viewing and photographic opportunities.  You’ll be amazed by the gracefulness of these ocean giants as they slowly arc their massive tail flukes into the air.  Bring a warm jacket to wear on the observation deck; the whales are often close enough to hear them breathe.  If conditions allow, an underwater hydrophone will be deployed so that you may even get to experience their incredible “singing”.

  An onboard naturalist will explain the behavior and habitat of the humpback whale and other wildlife you may encounter, including orcas, sea lions, porpoise, harbor seals, bald eagles and more.  Throughout the voyage you’ll be treated to a delicious variety of appetizers including a baron of beef, reindeer sausage, smoked salmon, cheese and vegetable trays, hot shrimp dip, dessert bars and pastries.  Tea, coffee and cocoa will be served.  Wine, beer and sodas are available at an additional charge.

  This tour guarantees you will see a whale.  If not, you’ll receive a $100 cash refund as you disembark the tour vessel.  In the past 15+ years, whales have been sighted on every tour!
