My 'safari Spirit'

We'll search for the tell-tale blow of the humpback whale as we cruise today, and later, all the charm of Alaska will greet us as we pull into tiny Tenakee Springs, a remote fishing village tucked into Chichagof Island. We'll step ashore to stretch our legs and meet the people who choose to live their lives far removed from modern-day conveniences. Even here, seemingly worlds away from anyone, there is a wonderful local bakery and caf?, so do stop in! This evening we'll anchor in a remote bay and drop the kayaks for a paddle before calling it a day. MY 'Safari Spirit'

We'll cruise into the heart of Alaska's Inside Passage during the next three days. Greet the days with your adventurous side! We'll kayak under sea-carved arches back in the hidden inlets, and wander through misty coves where colorful sealift clings to the intertidal rocks. We'll explore the temperate rainforest where bears make their homes, or listen for the clear call of a Pacific loon, one of the many beautiful seabirds that migrate through this region. We'll spend our days cruising the waters where humpback whales, Steller's sea lions, orcas and porpoise feed and frolic. We'll visit striking fjords, enjoy guided nature hikes and soak in natural hot springs. Our anchorages will be guaranteed reason to pull out your camera one more time. Marvel at 2,500-foot cliffs that rise straight up out of the water. It simply does not get better than this. MY 'Safari Spirit'

Step ashore for invigorating guided hikes along remote trails in aptly named Scenic and Ideal coves or perhaps stroll the secluded beaches. The choice is yours. You also cruise slowly in an ice-filled bay where you see a fjord still being formed by an active glacier. To celebrate this amazing journey in the Inside Passage come together for a festive Farewell Dinner on your last evening aboard the 'Safari Spirit.' MY 'Safari Spirit'

After breakfast we'll arrive in Petersburg. We'll bid you a fond farewell and transfer you to the airport for connections home.
