Today we woke in the Jackson Passage to a beautiful and calm sunny day. We made our way towards the Khutze Inlet through the Tolmie Channel in calm waters, surrounded by striking snow-capped mountains. After lunch we arrived at our destination in the Khutze Inlet, near a small meadow and towering waterfall. We explored the waters by kayak and walked through the meadow looking for wildlife while enjoying the bounty of nature that surrounded us.

National Geographic Venture
Alert Bay
This morning, National Geographic Venture cruised north to the tip of Vancouver Island through Seymour Narrows. It was a misty morning full of birds migrating south and Pacific white-sided dolphins bow-riding the ship. It was a great start to the morning. After a delicious brunch, guests disembarked to walk along the bay to the U’mista Cultural Centre. This is the First Nation’s homeland of the ‘Namgis Nation, who welcomed us with their regalia and museum, gifted with rich history and culture. It’s always a blessing to be welcomed into the hearts and spirits of this community and to witness their dances and songs in their big house potlatch ceremonies. After leaving the dock, National Geographic Venture cruised back south and saw humpback whales off in the foggy afternoon, along with gulls and seabirds galore. Thank you for joining us on another great day in the Pacific Northwest!
