The terrain is hilly and winding, and narrow streets present a small-town quaintness existing side- by-side with cosmopolitan sophistication. You'll find great shopping, fine restaurants and superb Museums.

Enjoy a 25-minute motorcoach ride to scenic Auke Bay, where you'll board a high- speed catamaran specifically designed for wildlife viewing. Relaxing in the warm, comfortable cabin, you will set out to explore Stephen's Passage, a pristine marine wilderness bordered by snow-capped peaks and glaciers. Stephen's Passage is the world- renowned summer feeding grounds of the humpback whale. Once whales have been sighted, your skilled captain will gently maneuver the vessel to allow exceptional viewing and photographic opportunities at a safe distance. If the whales join to form a cooperative feeding group, the vessel's engines will be silenced and an underwater hydrophone deployed so that you may even get to experience their incredible 'singing'. Throughout the cruise your onboard naturalist will explain the humpback whale's behavior and habitat. While enjoying the peaceful ambiance of Alaska's long evening glow you'll be treated to a delicious variety of appetizers, accompanied by complimentary beverages. There will also be a no-host bar with a selection of beer and wine. The operators of this tour guarantee you will see a whale. If not, you'll receive a $100 cash refund ($50 refund per child) as you disembark. But don'tanticipate a refund; in the past six years, whales have been sighted on every tour! Please Note: Bring a warm jacket to take advantage of the outside areas, and do not forget your camera. Approximately 3 1/2 hours.
