| 3 Days / 2 Nights Whales of Point Adolphus Sea Kayaking Journey |
| Whales of Point Adolphus |
|
Join us on this easy but exciting camping and sea kayaking trip. We will spend two full days and nights at Alaska's most famous humpback whale feeding area. Days are spent kayaking and watching for humpback whales, orca, sea lions, eagles, and sea birds, hiking the beaches, or exploring the old-growth rainforest of Chichagof Island.
At night, fall asleep under the canopy of the Tongass National Forest listening to the blows of whales frolicking offshore. This is a great trip for families with teenagers or anyone who wants to combine a genuine wilderness adventure with other explorations of Alaska. Begins and ends in Gustavus. |

Gustavus - Point Adolphus
We will meet in Gustavus for an early morning pre-trip meeting. We depart from the Gustavus dock, where we board a chartered cabin cruiser for the ride across Icy Strait. Start watching for whales! We'll unload off the stunning coastline near Point Adolphus on Chichagof Island, in the heart of the Tongass National Forest. We will be based in our wilderness camp for two nights. |

Point Adolphus
Point Adolphus juts out into Icy Strait causing an "upwelling" which churns up nutrients from the ocean floor, creating unsurpassed feeding grounds for humpback whales. Other marine animals make use of this upwelling, including seals, sea lions, and sea birds. During the day we will paddle the coastline of Chichagof Island which gives us an excellent opportunity to photograph and observe the abundant marine life. Our paddling distance will be tailored to the group. |
