SNOW GOOSE EXPERIENCE

1

Our aim aboard the Snow Goose is to deliver a unique and per-sonal experience for passengers while ex-ploring the shorelines of majestic Southeast Alaska. With our knowledgeable crew as guides, guests will cruise the remote waters, hike secluded islands, and discover whales, bears, and a host of plants and animals that bring the diverse ecosystem of Southeast Alaska to life.The Snow Goose is different from the enor-mous Cruise Ships that ply these waters every summer, but we’re different from the smaller ships as well. For us it’s not simply about watching a whale breath at the sur-

face as we pass by, it’s about taking the time – stopping – waiting, watching, listening to the sound of the whale exhale at the sur-face before diving to feed, even feeling the mist from it’s blow kiss your face.

Each day is scheduled and filled with as much or as little as you like. There is plenty to do so if you are inclined you can leave the boat and go ashore several times a day to walk the beach and trails in the Tongass National Forest. Moments of self-discovery are found exploring a beautiful creek, or qui-etly paddling a kayak. Every night we stop in a new and secluded anchorage.

“For us, it’s not only about simply seeing the landscape; it’s about exploring the details hidden within and finding the unexpected.”

Walk beaches among ancient Petra glyphs, kayak glassy waters amidst icebergs, see brown bears forage on shore, and watch humpback whales feed on herring. Here on the Snow Goose, we have been slowing the pace and taking time to truly appreciate our surroundings for 30 years. We feel that the trip is about gaining a deeper understanding for the magnificentworld we live in – walking on the shore at low tide with muddy fingers, flipping over stones and finding starfish, snails, crabs, anemones, and most importantly – the unex-pected. It’s about getting back to the basics, and finding your bearings again – a reset button for the soul. We take pride in real-izing the entirety of our surroundings and embracing it with open arms.
