Photography Tours
Join us this summer for an incredible Alaska Sailing Charter. We still have space available on our amazing photography workshops.
- The 9-day Ultimate Sailing Adventure (July 13-21, 2010) will be spectacular – and it’s perfectly timed for the peak of flowers, wildlife, and whales.
- The 5-day Whales! Trip (July 6-10, 2010) will be customized from day to day, as we follow the transient and resident pods of whales near Auke Bay, Funter Bay, and in Icy Strait.
Humpback Whale
The Inside Passage is home to killer whales, humpback whales, grizzly bears, bald eagles, sea lions, sea otters, mountain goats, and flocks of seabirds. Alaska is so incredibly beautiful, you'll think you stepped into a painting. Monumental glaciers are nature's draw, and Alaska's waterways offer more of these glacial giants than anywhere on earth. This is the Alaska you'll experience on each of our sailing charters.
The price of your Alaska vacation is based on the length of the trip, plus the level of accommodations you prefer aboard the Kirsten Anne, and is based upon double occupancy.
