A unique national park, full of wildlife of all sorts. At least two different operators offer cruises out here, ranging from a few hours to a full day. It is definitely worth a day of your time and the expense to go out here and experience coastal sea life. We saw sea otters, Steller sea lions, orcas, MANY humpback whales, one Beluga whale, eagles, puffins, murres, harbor seals, etc. Breathtaking landscape, including two glaciers that one can cruise up to and watch calve. Great experience.
