    Can't say thank you enough to Seth for a fabulous tour around Icy Straight! The small tour format was perfect for us, the boat extremely comfortable, and Seth was able to help us find/see as much wildlife possible... eagle, bear, humpback, orcas, otters and sea lions. He made sure we had multiple opportunities for "tail shots". It was the perfect tour!!

    Seth made our Vivid Endeavors wildlife excursion truly remarkable from start to finish! He promptly met us at the pickup location, his boat was immaculate and set up for easy indoor and outdoor viewing, he educated us on Icy Strait Point (the history, wildlife…and his story about moving to Alaska) and was in communication with other boats to make sure we saw as much as possible on our trip. We saw coastal brown bears catching salmon on the shore/inlet, sea otters and lots of whales. Since we were into photography, he positioned the boat so we would have the best viewing angles. If you want to leave the crowds behind, book him now…you’ll be happy you did! Cathy & Les

    Seth at vivid encounters provided us with a fantastic excursion. It was our first in Alaska and put all the others to shame. Of course, there is no guarantee of what you will see since it is not a zoo, but Seth was in constant communication with other local guides to ensure that we saw everything possible. We saw humpback whales bubble net feeding which was AMAZING! We also saw orcas, harbor seals, otters, eagles and bears... Oh my! This is a must do excursion!

    Pickup Location
    I will contact the supplier later
    We will meet you at your cruise ship port, Icy Strait Point, at the EXCURSION HUB – a large outdoor meeting spot for guests and vendors. Please plan to arrive 10 minutes prior to your scheduled tour start time. Please note the Excursion Hub is an open air meeting spot - NOT a building. At the Excursion Hub, we will have a small handheld sign that says VIVID ENDEAVORS. Don’t worry if you don’t see us/our sign holder there early; the driver/sign holder may arrive right on time as we coordinate our tour start times very precisely to avoid congestion at the hub. There are two separate cruise ship docks at Icy Strait Point. Your ship will be coming into either the OCEAN LANDING or the WILDERNESS LANDING. If your ship docks at the Ocean Landing – walk to shore and through the Adventure Center (a large beautiful building) and exit through the door marked #2. Follow the gravel path and look for an Excursion Hub sign that directs you slightly to the right and continue walking that path to the Excursion Hub. From the ship to the Excursion Hub is about a 5 - 10 minute walk. If there are mobility issues, please contact us ahead of time for extra details. If your ship docks at the Wilderness Landing – walk to shore and to the green Transporter Gondola where you can catch a 5 minute ride to the main area of the port (this is a free and pleasant gondola ride that will save you a lot of time compared to walking on foot from the wilderness dock). After exiting the gondola look for the sign directing you to the Excursion Hub and follow the path and signs. From the gondola drop off location to the Excursion Hub, the walk is about 5 minutes. If there are mobility issues, please contact us ahead of time for extra details. After we meet at the Excursion Hub, we will drive you via van through the town of Hoonah to the harbor where you will board our whale watching vessel. We provide return transportation back to the port after your tour. Additional Information: Due to Icy Strait’s remote location and influx of people throughout the day - cell phone coverage including data/internet capabilities on the day of your tour can be spotty at best. Please try to call or text ahead of time with any questions. Additionally, please consider either printing or taking a screen shot of our meeting instructions beforehand.

    Icy Strait

    Icy Strait is a legendary body of water that connects the protected inside waters of Southeast Alaska to the open Pacific Ocean. The nutrient rich waters of Southeast Alaska make it one of the most productive ecosystems in the world. During the summer months, these abundant fjords become the ideal home and feeding ground for a large population of Humpback Whales. Humpbacks travel to the area every year after their winter breeding season in the warmer waters of Hawaii and Mexico. After navigating over 3000 miles, we often see the same individual humpbacks return to Icy Strait year after year. Humpbacks aren’t the only wildlife in the area. Our trips often encounter Sea Lions, Seals, Porpoise, Sea Otters, Bald Eagles, Coastal Brown Bears along the shoreline, & our favorite – the awe inspiring Orca better known as the Killer Whale.

    On the day of your tour, we will meet you at your cruise ship port and then transport you through the town of Hoonah to the local harbor where our whale watching vessel is docked. Our brief van ride offers beautiful views of Port Frederick and the surrounding landscape. Occasionally, we'll even see wildlife (including Eagles) on our ride to the vessel. After your time on the water, we will transport you back to your cruise ship docking area. The van ride is approximately 5 minutes.

    The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
