What a fantastic last day of our voyage. We took full advantage of our last morning, anchoring near Lake Eva on Baranof Island. There we hiked, kayaked, and ventured out on stand-up paddleboards, watching birds and bears up close. Then the bravest among us plunged into the frigid waters of Alaska. As dusk came on, we made our way through Sergius Narrows, stopping for bears and whales as we headed towards our final destination of Sitka.

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!
