What To Expect

Tongass National Forest

A motorized rigid inflatable ocean raft provides a short, but exciting cruise along the coast of Clover Passage to a remote island in the Tongass National Forest. Guests may see whales, Stellar sea lions, harbor seals, porpoise, bald eagles and migrating seabirds on this route. Once ashore, join an experienced Alaskan trail guide for a walk through natural, unspoiled beauty of this coastal rainforest. The trail takes you through a beautiful old growth forest, by way of a secluded beach. The one-mile, mostly boardwalk path is well maintained. Follow your knowledgeable guide through this ancient forest and learn about regional botanic species, such as the Western red and yellow cedar which Alaska Native cultures have depended on for spiritual enrichment, shelter and transportation. Learn about the history of the Alaska State tree, the Sitka spruce, and how it played an instrumental role in the construction of Howard Hughes' famous "Spruce Goose" and other early vintage fighter planes. After hiking this gently sloped historic trail, gather by the campfire to enjoy an Alaskan-style snack and take some time to explore the natural beauty around you before re-boarding the vessel for the return trip. Bring your camera and binoculars!
