Jeff Corwin Hosts Alaska Bear Encounter by Land & Sea

Join Jeff Corwin, Princess Cruises' Nature & Adventure Ambassador and sail to Neets Bay Bear Observatory to observe bears in a natural setting. En route, you may see whales, eagles, sea lions and more! Once docked, you'll walk along a well-maintained forest trail to a viewing platform for the chance to witness bears feasting on salmon returning to spawn. Jeff will share stories and his knowledge and passion for wildlife during the trip. Bears are the superstars of the Alaska wild and to observe them in their natural habitat is one of the most sought-after adventures. This ultimate Alaska bear encounter begins with a narrated motorcoach tour to your waiting boat. Once aboard, the vessel will cruise through breathtaking Tongass National Forest to Neets Bay. Have your camera at the ready-along the way you may see whales, eagles, sea lions and other creatures that call this area home. When you reach the dock, you'll disembark near the base of a stream, where an informative guide will brief you on nearby hatchery operations and the bears you may be observing. Then, enjoy the serenity of this unspoiled wilderness as you walk along a well-maintained forest trail to a covered viewing platform where you have the opportunity to watch these feared, yet most revered forest creatures feed on coho, chinook, and chum salmon. On the return cruise, enjoy snacks, including Jeff's own recipe for smoked salmon dip.
