Today, guests aboard National Geographic Sea Lion embarked on an adventurous exploration of Wrangell, Alaska. The majority ventured inland on a thrilling jet boat tour, close to the Canadian border and with sightings of majestic Sitka deer. Meanwhile, others opted to hike Mount Dewey or immerse themselves in the charm of Wrangell town. After our onshore adventures, guests enjoyed a leisurely day aboard the ship — some lucky guests even spotted Dall's porpoises gliding gracefully through the ocean. It was a day filled with diverse experiences, showcasing the beauty and wildlife of the Alaskan wilderness. We celebrated a few birthdays on board, and guests ended their day with trivia.

Misty Fjords National Monument
Misty Fjords National Monument, administered by the United States Forest Service, is a region of stunning natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and temperate rainforests. These fjords offer ample opportunities to spot a wide variety of animals in their natural habitats. We began the morning with a double bear sighting at the head of Behm Canal. Zodiac cruising in Walker Cove is an ideal way to experience the beauty and tranquil waters of this fjord. Gliding past sedge meadows and salmon streams while keeping an eye out for seals, eagles, and even bears is an unforgettable thrill. The region's diverse marine life and pristine waterways make it a wildlife enthusiast’s paradise. Our cameras and binoculars continue to search for bears, whales, and beautiful light in the waning hours of our voyage. Exploring the untouched wilderness of Southeast Alaska has provided us with a chance to witness nature at its most raw and majestic.
