Embark on a 4-hour Spring Wildlife Cruise in Resurrection Bay. Witness gray whales, orcas, sea lions, and more in their natural Alaskan habitat.
- 1412 4th Ave - Join us for our first cruise of the season as we search for gray whales on their incredible annual migration. Every year, gray whales migrate over 10,000 miles round-trip between Baja and the Bering and Chukchi Seas – the longest migration route of any mammal. These whales begin migrating north in late February and arrive in Alaska in the spring, spending the summer feeding in shallow Arctic waters before migrating south in mid-October. They deliver their calves in the warm, protected lagoons off the coast of Baja in the winter.
Our Spring Wildlife Cruise takes you through Resurrection Bay to the edge of the Gulf of Alaska in search of our returning visitors. In addition to gray whales, watch for Steller sea lions, sea otters, Dall’s porpoises, harbor seals, bald eagles, and other whales including humpbacks and orcas. Occasionally, you will see mountain goats with their newly born kids and black bears foraging along the coastline of Resurrection Bay. Our tour is fully narrated by our experienced captains and naturalist crew members.

Embark on a 4-hour expedition into the safeguarded Resurrection Bay waters to observe the annual migration of gray whales through Alaskan regions. Each year, these mammals traverse over 5,000 miles from Baja to the Bering and Chukchi Seas in their quest for nourishment. They usually commence their migration in late February and journey through Alaskan territories come springtime. Keep an eye out not only for gray whales, but also humpback whales, orca, Steller sea lions, sea otters, Dall’s porpoises, harbor seals, bald eagles, and a variety of marine birds.
