Your naturalist guide will provide insights into the natural history and ecology of this unique critical habitat area. Every tour is different but tour favorites include glacier views, humpback whales, extended viewing of sea otters and puffins, and a stop at the Gull Island Seabird Rookery with 15,000+ nesting seabirds.
