Italy52 Posted September 12 #1 Share Posted September 12 Alaska 2024 provided us with many memorable moments. I wish I had more time to write a detailed trip report like I have done in the past. Unfortunately, it is not possible this year. So, I thought I would share a few pictures of our May and August cruises to Alaska. 1. Hubbard excursion that was offered through Princess and conducted by Allen Marine. The calving that day was insane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy52 Posted September 12 Author #9 Share Posted September 12 9. A few views of Glacier Bay. Our May transit was beautiful with lots of snow. Our August transit was foggy and not as scenic. So glad we had two opportunities to see Glacier Bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruisinKath Posted September 12 #14 Share Posted September 12 Nice pics! Can’t wait for our second trip to Alaska, next July! Our first trip was in early June, 2013, so I’m sure we’ll see differences, too! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to waterfalls. You are so kind. We took so many pictures; it was really hard to narrow it down a few to post. We took our whale pictures on Cpt. Casey's boat; the one that you were on. We had a great time and the whales loved performing for us that day. Are you going to Whistler? I bet the change of colors will be beautiful; have a wonderful time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - I will have 6 nights in Whistler. Hoping to spend time in Squamish also. Looking at web cams and colors haven't changed yet. Hopefully. Capt. Casey's boat looked brand new when I was on it. Casey is great! Great family! Edited Friday at 11:22 PM by Coral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italy52 Posted Friday at 11:49 PM Author #20 Share Posted Friday at 11:49 PM 54 minutes ago, l2f said: Is this the black bear, wildlife, and nature walk tour Yes, the Black Bear, Wildlife & Nature Walk is the name of the excursion. We have taken this excursion 3 times; all during times that bears/salmon were in season. We had one good visit with about 3 bears that appeared, one with a bear that was so far off that we really didn't see much and this last one we only saw one bear that picked up a fish and then meandered into the brush. Given how much this excursion has gone up in price over the years and what we have been able to see, I don't think we will repeat it in the future --- others might have had a better experience. We have also taken 2 Anan Creek bear watch tours with Island Wings that were outstanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
