Description
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
The peaceful glow of an Alaskan summer night is the perfect backdrop for this exceptional whale-watching adventure complete with a buffet featuring locally sourced cuisine. Southeast Alaska's marine animals join the party as you cruise the waters, renowned as a summer feeding ground for humpback and killer whales. Following a short motorcoach ride to beautiful Auke Bay, board a water jet-powered expedition vessel specially designed for Alaskan waters and wildlife viewing. As you cruise, an onboard naturalist will explain the habits and habitats of the wildlife you may encounter. Enjoy a buffet dinner complete with dessert and beverage. When a whale is spotted your captain will maneuver the boat for optimal viewing and photo opportunities. If you do not see a whale, you will receive a $100.00 cash refund when you disembark the tour vessel, but don't expect it, as whales have been spotted on every tour for the past 15 years!
