Icy Strait

Icy Strait connects Cross Sound and the Gulf of Alaska with the waterways of Southeast Alaska's Inside Passage. This productive body of water lies north of Chichagof Island, and south of Glacier Bay National Park, and can be a wonderful place to spot wildlife. Sea otters, humpback whales, seabirds, Steller sea lions, and both brown and black bears all inhabit the area, so we'll be searching for them throughout the day.
This morning, we plan to offer two rounds of Zodiac cruises in the Inian Islands. Bring your binoculars and cameras, and join us in the small boats to search for Steller sea lions, sea otters and bald eagles in this richly productive region.
We'll go ashore this afternoon for walks at Fox Creek. This beautiful site is near the mouth of Idaho Inlet, on Chichagof Island and offers another chance to explore this lush temperate rainforest. Here, we'll offer moderate and leisurely walks with the naturalists, in a gorgeous, old-growth forest. All of this afternoon's hikes will last about an hour and a half. We'll also offer kayaking around the Shaw Islands, so you may choose to divide your time between hiking and kayaking
