1. Day Petersburg: Petersburg Alaska is located in the heart of southeast Alaska’s Inside Passage. Upon your arrival to our town, located on the tip of Mitkof Island, you will immediately feel the charm of Petersburg, the people, and the Alaskan wilderness surrounding our community.  PetersburgAlaska.com can assist you in planning your special one of a kind visit to Alaska - The Last Frontier! A relaxing morning, time for some sightseeing before the boat leaves for your Inside Passage Wilderness Voyage.



2. Day Frederick Sound: A day for kayaking around the islands, hiking through the open under story of the rain forest, or fishing for halibut for our evenings' meal. There is a Stellar Sea Lion haul-out close by where hundreds of the vocal fellows and felines spend their days. If the Humpbacks are out our front door, we may get underway and spend some time shadowing their movements. In the afternoon we head south down the sound for Thomas Bay and an anchorage called Scenery Cove. Tides permitting, we will hike on the extensive glacial moraine that lies at the foot of Baird Glacier.



3. Day Frederick Sound: By midday we will be underway, bound for The Brothers, a group of small islands positioned in the middle of Frederick Sound. Along the way we will be alert for Humpback or Orca whale sightings. This is one of the prime summer feeding grounds for the migratory Humpback and it is a rare transit if we do not encounter a pod. We may shut down the engine and just drift, watching them feeding or breaching and listening to their songs with the hydrophone. We will drop the hook in an idyllic anchorage where the sounds of breathing whales, Stellar Sea Lions hauled out close by, or the screech of an eagle, comes drifting across the evening calm. We will enjoy a campfire and dinner on the beach.



4. Day Frederick Sound: We make our way out of Endicott Arm and back to Stephens Passage and into Frederick Sound. We'll head for Gambier Bay, keeping a sharp lookout for whales along the route. This is prime salmon spawning habitat, along with the brown bears that come down to the rivers this time of year to feed on them.



5. Day Ford’s Terror Wilderness: Tracy Arm - Fords Terror Wilderness, comprising 653,179 acres, is located 50 miles southeast of Juneau, and 70 miles north of Petersburg and is adjacent to Stephens Passage. The entire eastern boundary of the area is on the international boundary with Canada. At Ford's Terror we will become intrepid adventurers. There are places to explore by foot and by kayak. Surrounded by 5,000 foot granite faces, the mist hanging to the precipices, the vessel suspended in crystal clear water, suspended in time... Today we will kayak through the tidal rapids (at slack water of course) and paddle into the majestic inner fjord. The Tracy and Endicott Arm are the major feature of the area. Both are long, deep and narrow fiords that penetrate more than 30 miles into the heavily glaciated Coast Mountain Range. At the head of each of these fiords are active tide water glaciers, which continually calve icebergs into the fiords. During the summer, both fiords have considerable floating ice ranging in size from a three story building to hand size pieces.



6. Day Endicott Arm: Underway in the early morning hours to make the slack tide across the spit and into Endicott Arm. Passengers awake to the heart beat rhythm of the Washington Diesel as we dodge icebergs and wind our way into the fjord. It is twenty seven miles up the Arm to the face of Dawes Glacier where we will linger for awhile to witness the calving and booming of the burgs. Then we will make our way to a seldom visited anchorage called Fords' Terror, comparable to a flooded Yosemite Valley



7. Day Juneau: Docked near downtown Juneau. Passengers leave the boat to continue touring Southeast Alaska or to prepare for a flight home.
