 
Alaska’s Secluded Southeast - Exploratory Trip!
A Small Group Journey through Alaska’s Coastal Paradise
Trip Overview
- Expore the waters of Glacier Bay National Park for encounters with calving glaciers and exciting wildlife
- Take a helicopter journey over the Juneau Icefield and walk on a glacier
- Visit the brown bears of Pack Creek
Escape the cruise ships on an Alaskan adventure that immerses you in wildlife, not crowds. Alaska’s Southeast Panhandle is wilderness on the grandest of scales. Ice-capped mountains, rising 15,000 feet from the sea, are the backdrop for a network of fjords gouged by glaciers. The world’s largest temperate rainforest blankets hundreds of islands that dot the Inside Passage, the sheltered saltwater channel between the open Pacific and the Coast Range. Whales, seals, bears and eagles dominate these environs, where human presence is slight. On foot and in the water, we feel small and insignificant – just as we’d hoped to.
Location of Adventure
South East Alaska
Group Size Limit: Approximately 10 travelers A very important feature of this trip is the limited group size as a guided tour is best experienced with a small group of travelers.
Included
Accommodations, all meals from dinner on Day 1 to breakfast on Day 8, services of NHA Expedition Leader, all internal flights, small boat cruises as described, land transportation, kayaking excursions, helicopter glacier walkabout, airport transfers for those arriving on Day 1 and those departing on final day, park and permit fees, all taxes and service charges.
Not Included
Travel to and from start and end point of trip, most gratuities, alcoholic beverages, items of a personal nature (phone calls, laundry, etc.), optional activities, and travel insurance.
Physical Requirements
Easy to Moderate/Flexible
The activities on our Southeast Alaska adventure are diverse, from hiking to kayaking to whale watch boat trips. This trip requires a slightly greater degree of physical fitness than our Hidden Alaska adventure in that we must sea kayak from our float plane landing to view the bears on Admiralty Island. Those guests who can hike farther tend to get the most from this adventure. We stress that travelers are not required to participate in every activity.
Getting There & Getting Home
Arrive in Sitka, Alaska, on Day 1 of the program for a 7:00 p.m. dinner orientation. You are free to depart Juneau anytime on the final day.
