Wild Alaska Escape: LeConte Bay, Wrangell & Misty Fjords
Discover wild Alaska through an unrivaled experience. The 62-guest National Geographic Sea Bird is nimble enough to navigate narrow channels and effortlessly trace the jagged coasts so you can experience massive glaciers up close. Glide past the soaring cliffs of Misty Fjords National Monument, and Zodiacs will take you to even more remote destinations like Hole in the Wall State Marine Park on Prince of Wales Island. Kayak or paddle board through salmon-studded waters to observe rich Alaskan wildlife such as humpbacks, killer whales, otters, and sea lions. The adventure continues on land with guided hikes through the moss-draped cedar forests of the Tongass National Forest and a visit to the quaint town of Wrangell, where you can choose to take a jet boat ride up the Stikine River. Round out your trip with a visit to a Saxman Native Village and crane your neck to take in the largest collection of standing Native American totem poles in the world. Your wild Alaska escape is calling.
