Juneau, AK - September
12, 2019 - For a truly wild Alaskan experience that will live with you
forever, why not get up close and personal with the Humpback Whales in their
natural habitat in Juneau, Alaska?
Join a small group of travellers and experts to experience lush
and vibrant temperate rainforests, exquisite snow-capped peaks and flowing
glaciers, with your only neighbors being the feeding humpback whales, curious
sea lions, playful porpoise and soaring eagles.
The trip-of-a-lifetime is being laid out by Above and Beyond
Alaska, an employee-owned local guiding company which has been offering hiking
expeditions and memorable experience to Alaska's wilds since 2002.
They are based in Juneau and have been providing journeys
around the region by kayak, foot, boat, plane, or helicopter for more than 17
years.
Juneau is nestled below the Coast Mountains and beside the
ocean in the heart of
Southeast Alaska's temperate rainforest. ABAK are experts in
exploring the Tongass National Forest, glaciers of the Juneau Icefield, and
waters of Alaska's inside passage.
It's in the Inside Passage waters where ABAK will be hosting
the Paddle with Whales Kayak Adventure. Space is limited as they will be taking
a six-passenger boat for an entirely personal experience.
Having been picked up and transported to a boat harbor north of
Juneau, the passengers will board their small boat and be whisked away to the
Channel Islands State Marine Park while scanning the seas for marine wildlife.
"Once we reach the remote island, we'll launch the kayaks
to explore this amazing wilderness area," described ABAK's Caitlin
McElhinny.
"The encounters with the whales are intimate and amazing.
Throughout this trip, our expert guides and boat captain will share their local
knowledge of the area and interesting information about the wildlife and their
behaviors."
And you'll need to keep your eyes peeled - as the wildlife
offers harbor seals, steller sea lions, Dall's porpoise, harbor porpoise, orca,
and numerous bird species including bald eagles and blue heron.
"Be prepared to take in the beauty of glaciers off in the
distance and the majestic mountains of the Chilkat and Coast Ranges. Once back
at the harbor, our van will be awaiting your return to drive you back to
Juneau," she added.
.
"This eco-adventure is suitable for all levels and will
surely provide a new perspective on what's possible in the world of remote
Southeast Alaskan exploration."
The trip will take around six hours to take and will cost $389
per person + 5% sales tax, For a private tour, the cost is $1999 + 5% sales tax
(this can include up to six people).
