Reasons To
Visit Alaska

  • Bears

    Alaska, the USA’s largest state, has to be some of the best bear watching territory anywhere in the world. Black and brown bears (sometimes known as grizzly bears) can be found, when they want to be, nearly everywhere in the state.

  • Glaciers

    Along the coast of Alaska, some of North America’s highest mountains feed more than half the world’s glaciers, an epic sight as they carve icebergs into chill waters. Expedition cruises operate in these waters using zodiacs to discover breathtaking coastlines and a plethora of wildlife.

  • Landscape & scenery

    Home to magnificent glaciers, endless tundra and pristine fjords, as well as being the home of North America’s highest mountain, Mount Mckinley, Alaska’s scenery rivals that of New Zealand, except everything can be seen here on a larger scale.

  • Wilderness

    In a state where moose outnumber humans, it’s no wonder Alaska is considered one of the world’s last true wildernesses. Here you can find entire ecosystems still intact and vast areas of land untouched by human hands.

  • Wildlife

    One Alaskan animal you are likely to see a lot of are the delightful sea otters. These enchanting animals spend most of their lives floating on their backs, furry faces and paws in the air.

  • Cruises, Sailing & Water
  • Multi-day Tours

The 20 metre steel motor vessel Snow Goose was built in Alaska in 1973 as a private yacht.

She sleeps 12 passengers in six private double bedded cabins sharing three lavatories and two showers. The main deck features a spacious, airy salon, a library of natural history books, the galley and a dining area. Large windows provide great viewing on all sides and easy access to the deck.

The upper bridge deck provides a lovely vantage point for spotting wildlife and comfortable seating for passengers who wish to get involved with the navigation of the ship. Snow Goose will enable you to explore the natural history and native American heritage of southeast Alaska.

Highlights include watching humpback whales, seeing native totem poles, sighting bears on beaches and travelling up spectacular mountain fjords to find icebergs and glaciers. Most of the voyages will be in the Tongass National Forest – the largest in North America.

Daily shore excursions discover beautiful forest walks, tumbling waterfalls and walks in alpine meadows. With a naturalist on board, you will be able to observe the fascinating wildlife and explore the shoreline for larger mammals.

The itinerary is intentionally flexible to meet individual interests, weather patterns, and of course, to take full advantage of wildlife sightings.
