Oneway Airline Tickets - Tours in Alaska whale Watching Kayak Trips &


Any time, have you thought of visiting the land of the midnight sun- Alaska?

As you lift your head there are bald eagles perching all over the place trying to locate fish in the dancing waters below. Sea lions and sea otters, harbor seals, you will also see during these trips porpoises. Kayaking trips give you an opportunity to watch these acrobatic massive species of the world at a close range. Orca whales can be seen in large numbers in Southeast Alaska. During summer hundreds of Humpback whales gather in Frederick Sound.

You will enjoy the ancient Tongass the largest temperate rainforest full of moss and foliage emitting a strange inspiring aroma. The tides are as high as 15 feet and scattered all over you will see tracks of bears and wolves.

fjords and lakes, rain forests, rivers Oceans and tidal flats, this spot has seven thousand square kilometers of glaciers, It is home to a beautiful wildlife habitat all along the coast. Sea kayaking here is the zenith of joy and thrill that you can expect from any adventure tours. This is located in South Central Alaska. Prince William Sound.

This empties directly into the sea hence called tidewater glacier. It cuts and shapes the land on its way as it moves four feet per day. Columbia Glacier is a slow moving river of ice 4 miles wide and 270 feet high having an area of 1100 square kilometers.

You can also view this sitting on a window seat of flights from Seattle to Anchorage. They leave Whittear or Valdez and you can view at some distance from the glacier's face. Boats are ideal. How to view this marvel of Nature? There is no sign of retreating. It was in a stable climatic condition for more than 200 years. The beauty and charm of this wonderful glacier is decreasing every day and in the next 50 years it may be half of its size- courtesy global warming and man induced destruction.

Port Wells etc, culross Passage, other places worth visiting are 'Chenega Glacier' Dangerous Passage. There is wilderness every where in the dotted islands surrounding the Sound.

From here you can hike along side Lawrence Glacier to Willard Island. As you paddle you will see harbor seals and sea birds creating a wonderful scene with their strange sounds. Charter boats start from whittier to Blackstone Bay. Blackstone Bay is a famous paddling spot.

You can learn everything about ice and glaciers. Nassau Fjord is famous for the Chenega tidal Glacier which is two miles wide. You will find dozens of tourists arriving at Anchorage every day for the kayaking trips. At the end of the paddling day you will be back to Whittier. What you will enjoy most is the sound of the sight.
