From the Field: Southeast Alaska Vacations"I took my 16 year old son Andy on a recent scouting trip to Southeast Alaska. We were in a tandem kayak, paddling Icy Straights off Point Adolphus, and we encountered a dozen or more humpbacks feeding on herring...at times we sat still in the water and would be within inches of these massive animals. Breaching, tails flapping, clearing their blowholes – everything you see on the Discovery Channel – only this was at arm's reach in true high definition color!"
Dan Austin, 2007 scouting trip

Southeast Alaska – Glaciers, Whales & Wilderness Adventure
On Alaska vacations you travel by foot, bike, kayak, boat, train, ferry and bush plane, deep into a rugged frontier where land vehicles simply won't cut it. Begin in Juneau, the state capital, rich in fishing, mining and Russian fur trading history. Kayak the Icy Strait in search of whales, dolphins and sea lions and cruise through Glacier Bay National Park in the company of park rangers eager to point out the Bay's thriving flora and fauna.
Helicopter to Mendenhall Glacier, strap on your crampons, and spend a day exploring the most pristine and remote areas of the glacier. Traverse the famous White Pass and Yukon Route by train and savor the freshest salmon you've ever tasted at an authentic Alaskan salmon bake before calling it a night in the comfort of your charming bed & breakfast or lodge.

A few more reasons why you've gotta go…
- The scenery! Alaska has over 45,000 miles of islands, peninsulas, bays and fjords – there's no end to SE Alaska's waterways and coastlines.
- Kayaking Icy Strait: there's nothing like coming within an arm's reach of a 50-ton humpback whale.
- The Yukon Pacific: you'll enjoy chatting it up with the conductor, who's been with the railroad for 40 years.
- The fresh salmon at the Twisted Fish in Juneau: it's to die for!
