Want to experience the very best Alaska has to offer? If you love the wilderness and its magical wonders, I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Join us, in a Prince William Sound sightseeing cruise - a truly incomparable adventure. Prince William Sound offers endlessly breathtaking scenery - active tidewater glaciers, waterfalls, towering mountains, and temperate rainforests. Marine wildlife abounds in Prince William Sounds' rich ecosystem. You'll have as close to a guaranty of seeing several species of whales, sea lions, sea otters, eagles, seals, puffins, and porpoise on our Alaska cruises of 5 days, as you can get. July and August are great months to watch thousands of salmon trying to navigate up waterfalls, or watch bears feeding on salmon. Seen one glacier and you've seen them all?? No way, and we can prove it. Every timeless glacier - and Alaska has more than anywhere, rivaled only by New Zealand - generates its own rhythm with the life around it. The forests, the life that hovers at their edge, the sunlight at varying times of day, all create a uniqueness for each glacier. We can show that to you, and save you the airfare to New Zealand... Want a closer look? Slip through the water in a kayak, or hop aboard a small skiff and head closer to shore. Beach your craft and wade through crystal clear tide pools, discover what has been washed ashore on the recent tide, feel the ebb and flow of life on the edge of a vast northern ocean. Live the moment in time that has been given to you that day. You'll be forever changed. Like seafood? Catch a salmon or halibut and we'll have it for dinner. Fishing is always an option on sightseeing tours. Care to dine on the best shrimp in Alaska? We'll catch 'em fresh. Karyn and I will be your host on your Alaskan live-aboard adventure. We've lived in Alaska for 33 years and have spent more than 18 years in Prince William Sound. Prince William Sound is a wonderland, for lack of a better term, and we respect and strive to preserve its natural state. Everyday on the water is different and we treasure the opportunity to show Prince William Sound to you.
