Wow! What a way to end our voyage here in Southeast Alaska. The day began with sights of killer whales off the bow of National Geographic Sea Bird as we traveled through the Behm Narrows. We then traversed the narrows towards Walker Cove, where we did our afternoon activities of kayaking or Zodiac tours in the fantastic Misty Fjords National Monument.

National Geographic Sea Lion
Cascade Creek and Scenery Cove
This morning, National Geographic Sea Lion anchored at Cascade Creek, a stunning destination for hikes in the temperate rainforest of Southeast Alaska. From the smallest of lichens and mosses to the tallest western hemlock trees and Sitka spruces, our guests learned from our naturalists as they hiked along Cascade Creek. In the afternoon, we explored Scenery Cove on Zodiacs, getting familiar with the rocky coast. In the evening, we spent time looking for marine mammals from the bow of the ship. It was another amazing day in Southeast Alaska.
