After a good breakfast you will take a 10 minute ride down to Orca beach for the first half of today's adventures, sea kayaking in Orca bay. This adventure includes guide and naturalist, all gear necessary, and a light snack along the way. This is a great trip, viewing up close: sea otters, sea lions, possible sightings of Orca whales, all types of water fowl, and shore birds, with possible sightings of deer and bear along the shore. After your kayaking adventure you will be brought back to the lodge for lunch, before getting aboard for your next adventure, Rafting through icebergs and floating by Sheridan glacier and down Sheridan River. This is an easy and beautiful trip with all types of wildlife sightings along the way. You will float down Sheridan River to the Copper Highway and the end of the trip.

You will enjoy a great lunch along the way with stops all along, by your guide and naturalist. Afternoon free to explore town or local wildlife. Dinner as scheduled. DAY 3 Good morning! Today we have a very special all day adventure planed for you. Exploring close up, the beauty of Prince William Sound. After breakfast transportation will be provided for a short drive to the harbor where your charter will be ready around 8 am. After a safety talk and discussion of what everyone is interested in seeing and doing we will leave the harbor . We will typically head to one of three bays where we will see a multitude of sea otters, eagles, seabirds, waterfalls, and spawning salmon, and to search for brown bears, to photograph waterfalls, or just enjoy the close up beauty of Prince William Sound. Shore lunches are often a special part of these shore journeys. We generally will grill a freshly caught salmon and add grilled garlic bread along with a salad and of course dessert. We'll continue the day exploring secluded spots and again, going ashore if so desired. The day will end back in the harbor around 5 or 6 pm. Dinner will be ready when you are. DAY 4 Today is your day on your own. I suggest a trip out the copper river highway to the million dollar bridge and child's Glacier. Child's Glacier is about 50 miles out the highway from Cordova and the roads end. Passing through the amazing Copper river delta with more than 700.000 acres, with the largest population of beaver in the world and home the large delta moose, brown and black bears, wolf, fox, wolverine, and countless water fowl and shore birds during migration. Getting to the Glacier is half the fun. At the Glacier you have a park attendant on duty, with trails, viewing areas, and camp sites. This is a good place for that great lunch we packed you. We will provide all the information you will need on Child's Glacier and the area. If you come in a little early from the Glacier you will have some time for some last minute shopping in town, or if time allows you can take a ride up power creek road to some salmon spawning areas where it's possible to see bears feeding on the abundant spawning salmon.
