We know the best places to visit and the best places to stay. Our trip begins in Juneau, America's most beautiful capital city. Guests will meet at Juneau's finest downtown hotel for introductions and dinner. We gather for breakfast at one of Juneau's best restaurants, and visit the stunning Mendenhall Glacier and raft the Mendenhall River or canoe Mendenhall Lake. In the afternoon we will ride the Mt. Roberts Tram to the lush alpine peaks above Juneau.
Fresh salmon is on the menu tonight.
After an early breakfast we take off for Admiralty Island Wilderness, the crown jewel of the Tongass National Forest. This scenic floatplane flight takes us to a rainforest wonderland home to more brown bears and nesting bald eagles than anywhere in the world. At the beach we will board stable, two-person sea kayaks for a short paddle over to the Pack Creek Brown Bear Sanctuary. In July and August when the salmon are running up Pack Creek, the bear watching opportunities are superb. Floatplane back to Juneau tonight.
