Experience 3 of Alaska’s top attractions on this ultimate combination tour - a “whales guaranteed” wildlife cruise, a wilderness island salmon bake, and the mighty Mendenhall Glacier! On this excursion, you will:
• Set-out aboard a deluxe catamaran to explore Stephen’s Passage, a favored summer feeding ground for humpback whales.
• Bring your camera and a warm jacket to wear on the topside observation deck; the whales are often close enough to hear them breathe!

• Step ashore at exclusive Orca Point Lodge on Colt Island to enjoy a feast.
• Visit the tide-pool marine life exhibit, take a stroll along the beach, or sit back and savor the peacefulness, after lunch. Return to Auke Bay and take a scenic bus ride to the mighty Mendenhall Glacier.
