Alaska Glacier bay Adventure

Hike, kayak and explore the spectacular wildlife, marine habitat and dramatic landscapes of the world-famous Glacier Bay National Park from the comfort of a small yacht. The 97 foot Sea Wolf is a nimble vessel allowing us to navigate narrow bays and inlets, venture close up to the face of active glaciers and amongst small islands inaccessible to larger ships. Our captain and crew have been plying these waters for decades sharing their exceptional seamanship, outdoor leadership and naturalist skills about geology and glaciology, navigation and ocean habitats, temperate rain forests, and of course Alaskan wildlife. Our active days and late summer eves are filled with moderate hikes filled with wild flowers and vistas, easy kayaking to look for bears along the shoreline, and watching humpback whales and orcas from on deck. Return each evening to a gourmet meal featuring fresh local seafood and baked goods while we share in  the excitement of the day’s Alaska Wildland Adventures.

The ancient harbor of Dartmouth is the gateway to this Walk across the dramatic open spaces of Dartmoor and Exmoor in the South West of England.

Here we walk meadow-paths and narrow lanes, crossing rivers and passing through thatched hamlets, stopping for hearty pub lunches and a traditional Devon Cream Tea. We explore Castle Drogo '"the last castle to be built in England" 300 meters above Dartmoor.
