The Alaska Experience

Experience the diversity, there’s something for everyone!

Experience the real Alaskan experience on board the Alaska Adventurer!

Many of our family, small group, guided and unguided trips feature a fascinating variety of scenic locations and exciting activities along choice remote areas of the Inside Passage. Just simply fun in Alaska!

On these all-inclusive voyages, you will experience the real Alaska most cruise ship visitors rarely get to see. Traveling through scenic waterways filled with humpback whales while porpoise ride the bow wake of the Alaska Adventurer, you’ll be in a new secluded bay or cove every day.

Create your own 'Alaska Experience' trip!

Here’s a list of just some of the fun things to do and see on these trips:
Shrimping
Set out the shrimp traps on the way into a secluded harbor for the night and haul up the catch in the morning. You won’t believe how huge these tasty treats really are until you actually see them!		 Alaskan Experience - Spot Prawns
   
Crabbing
Set out the crap traps and a try your hand at a few of the other secret methods we have for catching a bounty of the delectable crustaceans for an all you can eat feast.
   
Deep sea fishing
Drop a line with our professional high quality fishing rods & reels for a halibut, rockfish or salmon. The fresh catch of the day will be prepared by our chef for an unbelievable culinary delight.
   
Whales Watching
Our cruising areas feature some of the best whale watching in the world. Observe the amazing co-operative bubble feeding behavior. You’ll be cruising in areas that have some of the highest concentrations of whales on the planet. At times, they literally surround the Alaska Adventurer!
   
Marine mammal observation
Not only whales, these abundant waters team with Steller sea lion, harbor seals, bow riding Dall’s porpoise and the chance encounters with killer whales.
   

Photography
The scenic panoramas and wildlife all the way from the first minutes aboard the Alaska Adventurer until the lines are tied back on the dock at the end of the trip provide endless opportunities for shutterbugs to click through rolls of film and gigabytes of digital storage.
   
Sea kayaking
The Alaska Adventures sea kayaks are at your deposal to cruise remote bays silently on the lookout for wildlife both swimming and along the shore. A peaceful, relaxing way to begin or end the day.
 
Glaciers & Icebergs
Cruise through an iceberg strewn fjord to observe the amazing sights of a calving glacier. The icefields and glaciers of Southeast Alaska are some of the few remnants of the once-vast ice sheets. Today there are still over 100,000 glaciers in Alaska, although ice covers only 5 percent of the state. There’s even the chance to hike up to and walk on a glacier.
   
Salmon Streams
Summer runs of salmon returning to the rivers and island streams of Southeast Alaska number in the tens of millions. Salmon are a vital component of life here and present amazing sights as they jam into streams to spawn.
   
Clam Digging
A favorite for many guests is a trip to shore at low tide to dig a bucket of succulent clams for a real treat of fresh steamed clams.
   
Rain Forest Hiking & Exploring
The moss covered ground of the old growth temperate rain forested islands make for a fun adventure to hike and explore. But we need to keep an eye out for bears.
   

Beach combing
The beaches of this archipelago of islands and mainland provide excellent opportunities for walking secluded stretches of shoreline that rarely see foot prints other than wildlife.

   
Flightseeing
As long as you’re here, we’ll arrange for a float plane to land at the Alaska Adventurer and load up the gang for an incredible flight up over the magnificent icefields, glaciers and mountains. It’s an experience never to be forgotten!
   
Ancient & Recent Culture
All the way from the ancient cultures of the Tlingit Tribe of Native Americans to the more recent whaling, fish salteries and canneries, the not always obvious history of the area is fascinating and full of intriguing allure.

Any of our all-inclusive custom charters will include as much of the Alaska Experience as preferred. All or al-a-carte, it’s your choice.

All our trips that are reserved by the cabin will include many of the above mentioned activities and more!

Give us a call today and we’ll begin working with you on plans for a customized Alaska adventure like you’ve never experienced before!

Petersburg, Alaska in the heart of SE Alaska.

You have given us a week that truly has been filled with experiences and memories that will last for a lifetime. We feel just so fortunate to have been introduced to SE Alaska by you. This is a most beautiful part of the world-The majesty and antiquity of the landscape-weathered over areas by water, ice and wind; the vigor of its nature, epitomized by the forest giants and the black bears; The free spirit of the water and all the creatures that call it home; and the petroglyphs- Those messages left for us by other humankind, who no doubt marveled at the wonders of this natural world, just as we do today.

Our 4th trip to Alaska and this was the icing on the cake! It was a week of “best evers”—best claming—best crabbing—the best shrimping—best sea lion activity—right up to the boat—marvelous whale activity—fabulous orca pods…
