• Get an early morning start out of Auke Bay in Juneau, Alaska. Watch the hustle and bustle of cars, boats, planes and people slowly fade as you round the corner for the beginning of your adventure. Get to know Captain Hoock and his crew as you learn the ropes of sailing and get acquainted with the wild that is Southeast Alaska. As the S/V Arcturus rounds Point Retreat of Admiralty Island, known as fortress of the bears, you may begin to feel small as you cruise over 2,000 ft of water in the Lynn Canal at the foot of 7,000 ft peaks of the Chilkat Mountains. With good wind we will set sail and quietly glide toward Glacier Bay. By evening we will pull up to Bartlett Cove.

Day 2 ??Beardslee Islands

• We will enjoy breakfast on our way to the Beardslee Islands in the mouth of Glacier Bay. From here we can get off and paddle through the islands to enjoy the beautiful shorelines with a backdrop of incredible mountains peaks. That night we will harbor in Beartrack Bay and listen for the sound of wolves, owls, and other wildlife. If you haven?t had enough paddling, and the weather is permitting, and moonlight paddle after dinner is a wonderful way to wrap up the day.

Day 3 ??Beartrack

• Relax after a long day of paddling. Take a late start to breakfast and look for?some of the park?s furry residents from the deck of the Arcturus?or a hike through the woods.?

Day 4 ? Tidal Inlet

This little fjord is known for some of the fastest currents in Alaska, and if your game, we plan to ride them. As we paddle in with the tide feel the awe set in passing by steep mountain walls to the end of the fjord where we will ride the tide back out the the Arcturus and be swept away to Reid Glacier?for the night.

Day 5 ??Reid Glacier

• Step out into the world of ice and adventure along the Reid Glacier by foot for a greater perspective of the surrounding area. Find your way across the moraine to see how these glaciers shape the land around them and provide for the abundant sea life.?Nestled far back in the inlet you can breathe?the wild air far from civilization.

Day 6 ??Johns Hopkins, Grand Pacific, and Margerie Glaciers

• After a small taste of the Reid, now paddle through a myriad of icebergs dropped by Johns Hopkins Glacier and experience the raw power and mystical beauty of an advancing tide water glacier. One of four advancing glaciers in Alaska out of 100,000 receding glaciers. At the far reaches of the park nestled into the tallest mountains in the Fairweather range, it is a magnificent beauty few will get to see. Then Cruise by Margerie and Grand Pacific Glacier for evening photos before settling down for your last night in the wilderness.

Day 7 ??Sailing Home

• With a nice long stretch to cover back to Bartlett Cove, we’ll cruise our way through the incredible mountain fjords, by islands of wonder, and majestic water before ending in Bartlett Cove late in the evening.?

Day 8 ? Bartlett Cove to Juneau

Difficulty: Varies?? This tour can vary based on the groups interest. Being at sea is usually calm and enjoyable. A stroll along the beach or a short paddle is relaxing. However, an 8 hour hike or paddle can be very difficult no matter what terrain you are covering. We adapt the difficulty to you.

This is not a wildlife tour and wildlife is wild for a reason, so we do not guarantee any sightings. However, wildlife that could be seen are bald eagles, mountain goats, wolves, otters, porcupine, and murrelets, scoters, cormorants, and many many others.

Will I see a bear?

Bears do thrive in this area and stroll the beaches from time to time, but it largely depends on winter whether they will be out or not.?There is a chance of?stumbling into one while out exploring.?Your guide is trained in proper bear safety protocol and carries bear spray at all times.

How difficult is the terrain?

The places we will get off to explore have no trails. Sometimes it can be flat along the beach or streams, but dense and downed trees make a short distance take hours. Walking along rocky terrain or glacial moraine brings its own difficulties of slick rock or sink pits. Much of the terrain very quickly gains elevation which can make hikes very difficult. Luckily in the spring there is little bush whacking as long as you stick to the forest. However, with so much area to choose from our guide can find something to fit your activity level.

Can I bring my own gear?

Yes!?You will need to. We supply food, bedding, dry suits, paddle equipment, and the kitchen sink, but if you have something specific you want to bring, contact us so we can make it happen. We will have a few odds and ends, but otherwise, you will need to bring you own boots, shoes, cloths, sun glasses, gloves, and hats.

How close will I get to a glacier?

This can be largely dependent on ice flow, snow, and weather conditions, but most of the time we can get within a stones throw, if not touching it.

What is the weather like?

Temperatures in the spring can range greatly from?mid 20’s to mid 50?F typically. Juneau rains on average 62 inches per year with more rain coming in the later summer compared to spring and early summer. Conditions in fjords can vary greatly from one to the next depending on the amount of ice and the weather systems. It could be snowing one day, sunny the next, and rainy the day after. Prepare for cool weather and rain. Best to err on the side of cold, these are glaciers we are going to see.

Does my cell phone work in Juneau?

Maybe. AT&T and Verizon are the only two providers who support Juneau. Neither Sprint or T-Mobile users will have service here unless they are roaming. Once we leave Juneau, service will be spotty at best, and mostly non-existent. We are going to the wilderness after al!

What are these free photos you offer?

We believe you should stay focused on the nature and beauty of Alaska and not have to worry about taking photos. We want to keep you in the present moment.?Your guide is a talented?photographer, naturalist, historian, and all around good human being. Sticking with the photography part, your guide takes photos throughout your entire time exploring. We’ll get the best angles for your perfect Instagram post, Facebook update, or for hanging in your hallway at home. A week?after your tour, we email you a web link where you can view and download all of the photos we shot. They are yours to use however you wish at no additional cost.

What type of clothing should I wear?

Packing for a long trip like this can be difficult, but the best thing to do is to expect rain. We recommend 2 layers plus a waterproof jacket each day for hiking. When we are paddling you will have dry suits, and one layer will be good underneath. This could be a t-shirt, long-sleeve base layer, and rain jacket, but none of them should be cotton! Just remember, cotton kills. Materials such as polyester, nylon, wool, or other wicking material that do not retain moisture are best. These material suggestions go for pants too. Consider wearing rain pants should conditions call for it. Comfortable cotton clothes are ok for hanging around the boat, just know that if they get wet, they will probably stay wet for the duration of the trip, this is a moist environment.

Do you offer any discounts?

A week?after your tour, we email you a web link where you can view and download all of the photos we shot. They are yours to use however you wish at no additional cost.

What type of clothing should I wear?

Packing for a long trip like this can be difficult, but the best thing to do is to expect rain. We recommend 2 layers plus a waterproof jacket each day for hiking. When we are paddling you will have dry suits, and one layer will be good underneath. This could be a t-shirt, long-sleeve base layer, and rain jacket, but none of them should be cotton! Just remember, cotton kills. Materials such as polyester, nylon, wool, or other wicking material that do not retain moisture are best. These material suggestions go for pants too. Consider wearing rain pants should conditions call for it. Comfortable cotton clothes are ok for hanging around the boat, just know that if they get wet, they will probably stay wet for the duration of the trip, this is a moist environment.

Do you offer any discounts?

Yes! If you book a full 6 people on the boat, you get 10% off.

Do you offer private tours?

What if the tour is late returning and I miss transport home?

While weather can delay our time on the water some times, we build the elements into our return times. We guarantee you will make it back for yours. In the event this does happen and we are at fault, we provide you with accommodations, food, and flight to where you need to go to be back on schedule. Please feel free to contact us ahead of time to verify scheduling of the tour and your?departure. We encourage planning one extra day in Juneau at the beginning and end of your tour.

What if my plane or ferry?is delayed getting to Juneau?

Please notify us ASAP if you know you?are?going to be late. Contact numbers are listed in your booking details which you can call or text. We will rearrange the schedule if possible to accommodate your changed arrival time. We suggest giving yourself a day padding if possible on either side to avoid tight connections. Plus Juneau is a pretty cool place all by itself. If we are unable to change the schedule, you will be fully refunded the cost of your ticket.

What if my tour is cancelled by Adventure Flow due weather or other reason?

If Adventure Flow cancels your tour, we will refund you 100% the cost of your ticket.
