A Unique Voyage of Discovery The radio chatters on the bridge of the Spirit of Discovery – a nearby fishing boat skipper reports that he has just observed a raft of sea otters in Neva Strait. The Captain turns north at once. After you weave through some impossibly narrow waterways, a bed of kelp appears. Right in the middle, floating on their backs, a family of sea otters is dining on Dungeness crab. Inquisitive whiskery faces peer up as you stand enchanted at the rail. This voyage of exploration takes the time to venture into narrow waterways and glacier-covered fjords that are simply the most magnificent natural landscapes on earth. Misty Fjords, Tracy Arm, Lynn Canal and Glacier Bay will linger in your memory long after you have returned home. |
Sea lions in Alaska tend to congregate in large colonies at specific places – and your Captain knows exactly where they are. The great bulls on the rocks bellow at each other, and you are often close enough to hear. Hike in the forest and admire the evocative Tlingit totem poles that line the trails at the Sitka National Historical Park.
