Brown bears + marine life
Bear Aware & Wildlife
You’re in active wildlife habitat. Brown bears have been seen on the beach near the floathouse, and marine animals may be present in the bay.
- Bear awareness will be reviewed upon arrival. Bear spray is strongly recommended for shore time.
- Maintain safe distances from all wildlife and give animals space to move freely.
- Orcas, sea lions, and other marine animals may be nearby. Avoid close approach from docks or kayaks.
- Wildlife behavior is unpredictable; interaction at close range can be dangerous.
Safety beats schedules
Weather Advisory
- Dress in layers and assume rain. A waterproof shell and warm mid-layer are the default setting.
- Bring gloves and a warm hat for boat days. “Summer” still has teeth here.
- Itinerary and timing may change for safety, sea state, and wildlife considerations.
Southeast Alaska is a cold-water, maritime environment. Conditions can shift quickly: wind, rain, and fog even when the morning looks friendly.
