One of the oldest towns in Alaska, Wrangell is located near the mouth of the Stikine River. Much of its history can be seen in the impressive collection of totems scattered throughout the town. Highlights here are the amazing Petroglyph Beach State Historic Park where you can find primitive rock carvings and just 30 miles away is the Anan Wildlife Observatory with the largest pink salmon runs in the Inside Passage, and a platform from which you can look for eagles, harbor seals and black bears.

Wrangell, Marine Wildlife, Captains Choice

Join your captain and biologist guides on a magical discovery of wildlife in the protected waterways of the Inside Passage. Travel to nearby feeding grounds on a covered jet boat and find whales chasing after schools of small fish, otters frolicking playfully in the kelp beds, sea lions fighting over the best spot on a perch, seals basking on a rock or peeking at you from the water. Sometimes you may find Orca cruising the waterways in search of food or porpoises following the boat to play in the wake. Eagles fish to feed their young and seabirds look to take advantage of the leftovers from feeding mammals. This day is about animals. Where they go, you will go. The biologist guides will decide the best itinerary for the day based on the conditions and the behavior of the animals at the time of year. This 5- hour tour includes a sandwich and snack lunch, water and a brief stop on the beach. Please note: Your captain and guides strive to include as much wildlife as possible, however wildlife sightings of all species are not guaranteed. Weather, sea conditions and safety are important factors in where the captain chooses to go. Wear weather-appropriate clothes and shoes for boating.
