ALASKA: Whales of Point Adolphus Join us for this easy but exciting kayaking and camping adventure at Point Adolphus, where underwater land formations and strong tidal currents create Alaska’s most active whale feeding area. You’ll start with a scenic cruise aboard a charter boat from Gustavus to our deluxe camp at Point Adolphus, then, after a thorough kayak lesson, test your paddling skills in the calm waters. Days are spent kayaking and watching for orcas, sea lions, eagles, sea birds, and humpback whales (we’re one of the few companies to offer the opportunity to see whales up close!), hiking the beaches, or exploring the old-growth rainforest of Chichagof Island. At night, enjoy sit-down scrumptious dinners, then fall asleep under the canopy of the Tongass National Forest while listening to the blows of whales frolicking just offshore. A charter boat returns you to Gustavus. Check out our Alaska Feature. Slideshows, stories, facts, and more. |

We'll unload off the stunning coastline near Point Adolphus on Chichagof Island, in the heart of the Tongass National Forest. Day 2 - We will be based in our wilderness camp for two nights. During the day we will paddle the coastline of Chichagof Island watching for whales, sea lions, porpoise, orca, and sea birds. There may be time for beach combing and forest walks.
