Exploring Alaska, Great Bear Rainforest and the San Juan Islands
Embark on an extraordinary 14-day journey through some of the Pacific Northwest's most pristine wilderness, from Alaska's dramatic fjords to the ancient forests of the Great Bear Rainforest. This comprehensive expedition combines the best of three iconic regions: Southeast Alaska's wildlife-rich waters, British Columbia's protected coastal wilderness and Washington's enchanting San Juan Islands. With special access to remote areas managed by First Nations peoples, explore pristine fjords and moss-draped forests where you may encounter the elusive spirit bear—found nowhere else on Earth.
