Our great Alaskan adventure continues. Today we spent our whole day exploring Security Bay on Kuiu Island. A multitude of activities were offered over the course of the day and everyone’s taste for fun was satisfied. Three hour off trails walks lured the most intrepid, while others opted for shorter walks, beach strolls, scenic cruising in our small boats or even kayaking. A truly beautiful day in Southeast Alaska that was blessed by vibrant sunshine and warm temperatures rarely seen around here.

Petersburg, Alaska
A rare, gorgeous morning greeted us at the small fishing town of Petersburg. Every finger of the harbor was crowded with fishing boats awaiting the opening of the fishing season. It was a joy to prowl up and down the harbor and admire the vessels that hail from various homeports. Well-groomed trails and boardwalks maintained by the U.S. Forest Service made for excellent hiking through an old growth forest comprised of spruce, hemlock, and even yellow cedar, a rare treasure in Southeast Alaska. The trail ended in a muskeg bog, a vital part of the ecosystem in southeast Alaska and home to a carnivorous plant known as a sundew. As if that wasn’t enough, we had bike tours that explored the Petersburg road system, and many of our guests enjoyed an unforgettable plane ride over the LeConte Glacier!
