Discover Alaska’s Wildlife — A Personalized On-the-Water Experience

prince of wales whale watching

Step off your cruise ship and into the heart of Alaska’s untamed beauty with our premier
whale-watching and wildlife sightseeing charters. Operating from the scenic community of
Craig, just minutes from the Klawock cruise ship terminal, we bring you face-to-face with the
iconic marine life that makes Southeast Alaska one of the most breathtaking ecosystems on Earth.

Set out across pristine waters aboard our comfortable, stable, and seaworthy vessels,
purpose-built for smooth travel and exceptional viewing. Whether you’re scanning the horizon
for the towering spout of a humpback whale, the striking black-and-white fin of an orca, or the
playful antics of sea otters, every moment offers a new chance for discovery.

With fewer passengers and more room to move on our exclusive private charters, you and your
family or friends enjoy unobstructed viewing and the freedom to soak in every moment—without
the crowds.

Wildlife You May Encounter

Humpback whales bubble-net feeding
Killer whales (orcas) cruising in family pods
Harbor seals and Steller sea lions hauled out on rocky shores
Sea otters floating in kelp forests
Bald eagles soaring overhead
A rich variety of marine and coastal birds

Your adventure is guided by experienced local captains who have spent years navigating the
waters surrounding Klawock and nearby Craig. Their deep knowledge of tides, wildlife behavior,
and local history ensures your trip is not only safe and comfortable, but truly unforgettable.

Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, photographer, or simply seeking an authentic Alaska
experience, our excursions offer the perfect blend of adventure, scenery, and wilderness
magic. Join us and witness Alaska the way it was meant to be seen.
