Excursion Whale & marine mammal quest tour at Klawock

From the pier, a short walk takes you to the departure point for your scenic sail aboard a catamaran designed for wildlife sightseeing in the nourishing waters of Klawock’s archipelago. Surrounded by the beauty of the region’s lush forests, your guide will choose the best locales for marine life sightings. Enjoy a selection of hot beverages as you keep watch for the humpback whales that migrate to these pristine waters each summer to feed on plankton, herring, and salmon fry (young fish) to fatten up for their winter journey south. As your guide shares insights about the remarkable marine mammals that cruise these waters, you might be fortunate enough to see a humpback breach the surface, slap its tail, or jump in a spectacular display. You might even spot sea otters, the amusing animals known to float on their backs and cover their eyes with their paws to sleep. As well, you may encounter their rafts, drifting with the tide, and learn about the crucial role they play in the local marine ecosystem. Your enriching catamaran adventure concludes back at the pier.
