Dean and the crew are truly amazing. They curated the most amazing and memorable experience for our family.

Offering high quality 3 - 6 day cruises with a maximum of 12 guests on the historic Discovery in beautiful Prince William Sound, Alaska (just south of the largest Alaskan city, Anchorage). We do offer a handful of trips that incorporate Denali National Park as well. Prince William Sound encompasses 3,800 miles of coastline to explore via kayak and foot. The Sound is home to the densest concentration of tidewater glaciers in the world, containing 50 glaciers and 17 tidewater glaciers (touching the ocean), known for dramatically calving huge ice chunks into the sea. Enjoy spectacular views from sea level up to 13,000 ft mountain peaks. More than 220 species of birds (and around 200,000 seabirds summer in the Sound), along with 30 species of land mammals, and at least a dozen marine mammal species make this area quite special. Resident marine mammals include humpback, sei, fin, minke, killer whales, and dall's porpoise as well as Steller sea lions, harbor seals, and sea otters. In western Prince William Sound, black bears may be seen on narrow beaches and are most often seen fishing when the salmon are spawning.

I enjoyed the guides and was very impressed with the amount of information they gave us. The food was wonderful. My only complaint was that we were not told that the Orca and wales were only seen in early spring. I may have booked an earlier trip had I known that. Perhaps you could inform people what animals they are most likely to see depending on the time of year.

The difference between five and four, for me, is the changes made by having cruise ships in PWS.

Great trip to show my adult kids how spectacular Alaska is. A little rain did not deter us from lots of exploring. Food top notch as always. Thanks so much!!!

The small boat enabled us to get very close to all types of wildlife and scenery. The crew was fantastic, very knowledgeable and accommodating. We felt like we were in a five star hotel. Once in a lifetime experience, but would I do it again, you bet!

The owners of the Discovery, Dean and Meg, were so accommodating and helpful. Dean got a sense for what the group wanted to do and tried to cater to everyone's interest and activity level. The two guides, Phyllis and Hugh, were extremely knowledgeable and fun to be around. We did a lot, saw a lot, learned a lot, and in general had an amazing week. Meg worked her magic for three meals a day in the kitchen and the food was fantastic with lots of fresh seafood and accommodations for everyone's dietary restrictions. I loved that there was a lot of quiet time to read or sit outside and take in the magnificent scenery. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone who is okay staying on a small boat. My husband and I are not large people and we are reasonably fit so we were fine. But it would not work well for someone who has difficulty with stairs or climbing into a bunk bed.

Being on the Discovery Voyage was awesome! The crew was totally into making everyone comfortable and making sure everyone was having a good experience. We were well fed with absolutely delicious food. We saw some beautiful mountains, water falls and glaciers. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

A flawless, personalised small-boat voyage through one of the US’ most beautiful wildernesses - in fact the only one of its kind… what more can I say?
