(Homer, AK) – Gondwana Ecotours, a leader in responsible travel, introduced its “Alaska Whales, Waterfalls & Yacht Adventure,” an intimate, nine-day exploration of Southeast Alaska’s most pristine and wildlife-rich waterways. Traveling aboard a small, 20-passenger yacht, guests witness majestic whales, towering glaciers, and cascading waterfalls in remote areas inaccessible to larger cruise ships. The “Alaska Whales, Waterfalls & Yacht Adventure” is available for booking now, with prices starting at $11,995 per person (double occupancy).
The itinerary is designed for travelers seeking an immersive and authentic Alaskan experience. Highlights of the adventure include navigating the dramatic, narrow passages of Fords Terror and the serene Windham Bay Wilderness Area. Guests will have daily opportunities for up-close wildlife viewing, including humpback and orca whales, bears, sea lions, and puffins, guided by expert naturalists.
“We wanted to create a truly special Alaskan experience that goes beyond the typical tourist path,” said Jared Sternberg, Gondwana Ecotours Founder. “By using a small yacht, we can take our guests to hidden coves and dramatic fjords that larger vessels simply can’t reach. This allows for more intimate wildlife encounters and a deeper connection with the stunning Alaskan wilderness.”
The “Alaska Whales, Waterfalls & Yacht Adventure” offers a host of exclusive activities, including:
- Kayaking and skiff excursions in secluded bays and alongside glaciers.
- Hiking through the Tongass National Forest, the nation’s largest national forest.
- A visit to a salmon hatchery to learn about the vital role of salmon in the Alaskan ecosystem.
