 Trip
Details
Day
1 Arrive in Petersburg. We'll spend the first day
exploring in town followed by an evening meeting with
the guides in the hotel lobby to plan our adventure.
Day 2 After loading personal gear, we will board
float planes or a motor boat for our ride over to Big
Creek Camp. The afternoon will be spent teaching kayaking
skills and going for a short paddle.
Days 3-4 The next two days will be spent kayaking
in the Big Creek area, a primary summer feeding area
for humpback whales, stellar sea lions and numerous
other marine mammals. The land supports bear, deer,
moose, wolf and birds, including the bald eagle. Miles
of beach and old growth forest make it an explorer's
dream.
Day 5 The morning is open for a short hike before
float planes arrive to take us southeast 55 miles to
Le Conte Glacier Bay camp. The flight will take us along
the Horn Cliffs, Thomas Bay and Portage Bay. We will
take a short paddle in the afternoon to explore the
amazing offshore world of icebergs.
Days 6-7 From our base camp, we will spend the
next two days exploring the wonders of the twelve mile-long
fjord. Icebergs ranging in size from a baseball to a
baseball park mark the waters we paddle. Waterfalls
cascade down sheer granite walls making the paddling
spectacular.
Day 8 After a morning at leisure float planes
or power boats will return us to Petersburg. Our farewell
dinner will be at a local restaurant where we can share
stories of our travels.
Day 9 It's good-bye to new friends and off for
your next adventure!
