Combine the two most popular shore excursions in the Hoonah, Alaska area...searching for bears and watching the amazing humpback whales, all in one great day! Make the most of your time in port...combine two of the most popular excursions in this part of Alaska. You will board your custom-built, whale watching boat and motor to Point Adolphus, near the entrance to Glacier Bay National Park approxi

mately 40 minutes away. Not only does the scenery provide amazing photo ops but the wildlife watching ahead will as well. Here, the protected inside passage waters are teeming with herring and krill, the major staples of the migrating Humpback whale's diet which make it one of the most populated feeding grounds in Alaska for Humpback Whales. The whales travel up from Hawaii and Mexico during the winter months where they are mating and giving birth.

The Brown (Grizzly) male can weigh up to 1,500 lbs (680 kg) They will lose up to 40% of that weight during hibernation. The Black Bears tend to be smaller. Brown bears dine on a variety of foods including salmon, berries, grasses, small animals, and roots. Although brown bears are capable of bringing down a moose or caribou, this is not common. During the 3-hour bear portion of your excursion, you may also spot other wildlife such as Sitka blacktail deer, beaver, and eagles just to name a few. The order of activities may switch. In between the morning and afternoon portion, a stop will
