Ask a Question
Alaska has a rainforest?
Kayak break!
Yes! The largest temperate rainforest in the world. Little did I know that a cruise in Alaska could also be an adventure. Kayaking, camping, hiking, and swimming with icebergs...this is an adventure of a lifetime aboard the Wilderness Explorer.

The Adventure Begins
Today I have the privilege of flying to Seattle with my good friend Renee. The flight went fast as we chatted the entire time.
Once in Seattle, I connect with the light rail to get to downtown Seattle. I feel like I am Europe embarking on an exciting journey by train, plane, taxi and boat. Note to self, when trying to get a taxi in downtown …

Off to Alaska
Our morning flight north to Alaska is only about 2 hours. Today is gorgeous with bright blue sky, crystal blue water and bright sun. Even the locals have spring fever as they are excited to see the sun.
Ketchikan is a small seaside town that caters to fishermen and cruises alike. We spend the day previewing activities to do here prior to …

Insight into the Tlingit
Today we dock in the small port town of Klawok. Here we meet the mayor of the town Leslie. He takes us on a tour of the town. This small port town is know for its Totem Poles.
We walk through town until we reach a shop where Jon runs the Totem pole program. They are working on replacing the 8 or so Totem poles in the center of town. Each …

Alaska's Rainforest
We wake early this morning to begin our journey back to the boat. I am exhausted and can't bare the thought of kayaking 13 miles today. Luckily it is only 7 and we are back at the boat in time for lunch. I thought the overnight trip was one of the best ways to see the wildlife of Alaska. We saw sea otters, eagles and seals. In fact, we had a …

Baranoff Island
This morning, I am out in the kayak early. The water is glass and the quiet of our kayaks moving through the water is eerie. As we round the bend into the cove, we see an old whaling station.
When we make it to land, I am amazed by the technology of using water to run an entire while station. You can see old pipes that lead from the nearby …

Ford's Terror...Well it's not that scary
Today we are 100% dependent on the tide. We must make it into the narrow passage of Ford's Terror during high tide. We take explore the wilderness area by skiff. Again hoping to see some land life but we are a little too early in the season.
I can feel the Captain's urgency as we explore the area. We have to be out of the passage before the …

Whales! Oh My!
Today we are out on yet another kayaking adventure. This will be one of our first in open water so we have a safety briefing on what to do if you capsize and how to avoid that.
We will be kayaking about 3 hours to Sail Island. Cap'n Dan has decided to join us. We are a small group of about 4 kayaks for a total of 8 people. It is fun to have …

Swimming with Glaciers
Yes, you read it right...swimming with Glaciers.
Today we are in Endicott Arm. We get to take the kayaks out to get a closer view of Dawe's Glacier. The sound the cracking ice makes is eerie. Watching the Glacier calf is even more amazing. We can't get too close as some of the chunks of ice that fall off cause great waves that have potential …

Juneau, Alaska
This morning we enjoy our last wonderful breakfast before we disembark in Juneau. I spend the morning exploring Juneau before we head to the airport. What an amazing week exploring Southeast Alaska.
