Winter Tours

We are offering unique Valdez Alaska Winter Tours! It’s a great way to see the wildlife and amazing ocean views around Port Valdez. Join us to visit the wildlife hot spots of the winter months. We will:

– Explore the picturesque shorelines and mountainsides for Mountain Goats, Sitka Black Tail Deer, and other small mammals and shorebirds, including Oystercatchers and Rock Sandpipers at the ends of their migrations.

– Visit the buoys to see if the Sea Lions are sunning, and scan ice floes for Harbor Seals.

– Cruise with Dall Porpoises playing in our wake, while passing lazy Sea Otters floating on their backs munching on their foraged finds.

– View a variety of sea ducks and other seafaring feathered friends. The assortment includes Harlequin Ducks, Barrow’s and Common Goldeneye, Surf Scoter, Long-tailed Ducks, Red-breasted and Common Mergansers, Cormorants, Murres, Murrelets, and more!

We have our boats in the water and ready to take you on an ocean adventure!

For our adventures we use “Lena Claire” our 30′ aluminum hulled North River, equipped with a heated cabin and head, which allows us to get closer to shore and deep into the back bays to optimally view wildlife. We can accommodate groups of 2-6 people for a memorable tour.
