Wrangell’s animals 

Join your captain and biologist guides for a boat ride through the waterways of the Tongass National Forest, where wild nature rules. Your expert captain and guide will decide on the best wildlife to see, and wherever you go, you’ll want to keep your camera ready. Whether the humpback whales are feeding on sand lance and herring, or the Steller sea lions are fighting over the best sunning spots, you’re in for a treat.

*While we're excited to share the unique flavours of this region with you, it’s important to note that allergy awareness and hygiene standards can vary widely across the world. The local community providing food for this tour may not be as familiar with allergy concerns or preparation standards as suppliers in your home country or the expert chefs onboard our ships. As a precaution, we advise anyone with a severe food allergy to contact a member of the onboard Expedition Team before booking this excursion.
