The Inian Islands are located between the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska and the protected waters of the Inside Passage. Marine life is abundant in this area of strong currents and upwelling, and countless salmon swim through here as they return from the ocean to spawn. We saw many Steller sea lions, sea otters, and seabirds around the islands. Later in the day, we visited George Island for walks ashore and kayaking…and a few hardy souls went swimming! Our day’s wildlife sightings continued after dinner as we watched humpback whales.
