Day wise Itinerary

Day 1 :

Meet in Valdez at our shop in the morning for a safety briefing and orientation. From there we board our water taxi for the brilliant cruise out to Heather Bay, our access to the mighty Columbia Glacier – the largest tidewater glacier in Prince William Sound. Here we embark on our journey into the massive floating icefield, among its towering icebergs, and eventually to a secluded moraine with a fine view of the distant glacier. Paddle deeper into Columbia Bay in search of photo-ops with huge, deep-blue icebergs. On this night we make camp in Heather or Columbia Bay and settle in for some tasty camp cuisine cooked by our guides.
- Meals & Drinks : Lunch, Dinner
Day 2 :

Explore the upper reaches of Columbia Bay. Strive for the amphitheater, where all the different forks of the Columbia dump into the sea. This is quite the site and not to be missed! Explore the western coastline of Columbia Bay with a visit and possible overnight in Granite Cove. We have even had the chance to watch transient orca hunting seals in the area. Enjoy another comfy camp and tasty meal prepared by your guide.
- Meals & Drinks : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 3 :

After a hot breakfast we may take a hike before departing south. With the Columbia Glacier to our backs, we will make the crossing over to Glacier Island, keeping a sharp look out for numerous marine mammals, possibly seeing harbor seals, sea otters, and humpback whales. There are numerous bays to explore on the north side of the island, plus a good array of hikes and beach-combing opportunities. We may climb one of the spectacular ridges, giving us wonderful views of Naked Island and the Columbia Glacier. The elusive snow covered peaks of Montague Island may even come into view. Our guides will provide another fine meal before a much deserved sleep.
- Meals & Drinks : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 4 :

An early start will lead us around the corner of Glacier Island to Bull Head. Here we'll find a colony of Stellar Sea Lions which can be seen feeding, fighting, swimming, and sleeping. These enormous mammals were once thought to be extinct. As you learn about these magnificent creatures, be on the look out for puffins and cormorants inhabiting the rugged caves along the coastline. With humpback whales frequenting the area, Bull Head is a real wildlife hotspot. We stop at one of the most fabulous beaches for lunch and a hike up through the rainforest. After lunch were off to Chamberlain Bay for some more exploring before we are picked up and water taxied back to Valdez.
