SAMPLE ITINERARIES
BELOW…All trips are customized to your group….
JUNEAU-EXCURSION INLET-GLACIER
BAY NATIONAL
PARK-ELFIN COVE-SWANSON
HARBOR:
Day 1: Leave Juneau
at 8:00 am. Fruit and muffins provided for a continental breakfast. Cruise to
Icy Straits while viewing whales, bears, otters, eagles and more. Pick up
some Dungeness Crab in Swanson
Harbor that same
morning and cook them up fresh onboard and start snacking!! We can troll
out of Swanson
Harbor for King
Salmon and Cohos. We will then journey to Excursion Inlet, site of a WWII
POW camp, now operating as a fish processing plant. Stroll along the dirt
runway where small planes bring in the mail and groceries to the seasonal
summer workers…black bears like to inhabit the runway area. Visit the
new historic museum with fascinating memorabilia and newspapers from the
German POW days and past cannery activities. From there, we will cruise to
the end of Excursion Inlet for our evening anchorage in a secluded cove
often filled with brown bears, moose, porpoise, and birds of all kinds. A
hearty hot evening meal will be served.
Day 2: After a hot breakfast, we will cruise and enter Glacier Bay
National Park with our exclusive private permit, awarded to only 15 charter
operators statewide for the next ten years. Glacier Bay is a natural
resource brimming with glaciers, glacial ice tidepools, spectacular scenery
and wildlife. Our first stop after lunch is Park Headquarters, Bartlett Cove. Visit
the Lodge Interpretive Center,
walk the beautiful 1 Mile Rainforest Trail, identify the many wildflowers
in bloom, stroll the beach for shells. Back onboard, as time permits, we
will cruise a short distance across the inlet and jig for halibut. Spend
the night in a secluded cove in the Park. After dinner, explore the beach,
zodiac the shores to look for bears and other wildlife.
Day 3: Journey to the Glaciers: Marjorie, Lamplugh, and Reid. Eat
a hot breakfast and watch the abundance of wildlife during the day, from
bears to whales. Marjorie Glacier moves 6-8 feet per day and the calving
activity is spectacular! We will anchor in Reid Inlet near the glacier and
zodiac to shore where you can walk along the beach at the base of the
glacier. Awesome photography opportunities await you this entire day. We
will return to Berg
Bay for our evening
anchorage. Hot lunch and dinner onboard.
Day 4: We will leave Berg Bay and fish for halibut on our way out
of Glacier Bay National Park, and cross Icy Straits heading west towards
the ocean to the community of Elfin Cove, a tiny fishing village with NO
ROADS and NO CARS. Elfin Cove is like stepping back in time, only
accessible by float plane of private boat. Explore this magical village,
walking on the Boardwalk and taking in the sights. We can spend the day
fishing along the way to the Cove where we will spend the night.
Day 5: After breakfast we will say goodbye to Elfin Cove and head
to Swanson Harbor. We can stop to fish at some
of our favorite spots along the way before stopping at Point Adolphus, home
to dozens of returning summer Humpback Whales that put on a spectacular
show just for you! You will have plenty of opportunity to photograph the
humpback whales while they play, spout and breach, right in front of your
eyes. A couple hours later, we will arrive at Swanson Harbor.
We will spend our last night in this secluded anchorage where you can
explore the nearby island.
Day 6: Rise and shine about 7 a.m. for breakfast and then we are
on the way back to Juneau.
We will deliver you to the airport with your boxed fish for your afternoon
flight, or to your hotel if you plan to spend additional time in Juneau.
ADD ONE MORE DAY:
Add another day and you can do more activities whether it’s
another full day of fishing for salmon and bottom fish, or exploring Glacier Bay, or journeying to Pelican, another
fishing village near the ocean. We can also opt to go into Dundas Bay,
part of Glacier Bay
National Park, with
its abundance of bears and some pretty good halibut jigging!

in seeing the glaciers in Glacier
Bay National Park
and opt to just fish the entire trip. Add $300 per person to the 5 Night
trips, and $200 per person to the 6 Night trips for “we just want to fish, fish,
