Today we awoke near British Columbia’s Wallace Island. Here we anchored to spend our morning hiking Wallace’s interior while taking in its eclectic mix of nature and history. As we made our way along old buildings, we took in the lush forest around us and enjoyed the beautiful weather. After lunch, we raised anchor and sailed north toward Seymour Narrows. On the way, we spotted transient orcas and spent the evening following them before turning north again toward our next adventure.

Inian Islands and Port Althorp, Southeast Alaska
As we made our way out of Glacier Bay, we turned towards the mouth of the Inside Passage to take in the splendor of the Icy Strait. First, we Zodiac cruised around the Inian Islands, one of the most spectacular cruises in Southeast Alaska. Then we turned into Port Althorp where we made landfall to hike and kayak in the protected arm outside the massive tidal swings.

Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska
Glacier Bay National Park pulled out all the stops for the guests of National Geographic Quest today. We started our day with four brown bears before enjoying a fantastic brunch. As the day went on, we were treated with calving glaciers, fantastic terns, brilliantly sunny skies for a watercolor workshop on the sun deck, and more animals than we could count. 10/10 expedition day!
