Today, guests aboard National Geographic Sea Lion embarked on an adventurous exploration of Wrangell, Alaska. The majority ventured inland on a thrilling jet boat tour, close to the Canadian border and with sightings of majestic Sitka deer. Meanwhile, others opted to hike Mount Dewey or immerse themselves in the charm of Wrangell town. After our onshore adventures, guests enjoyed a leisurely day aboard the ship — some lucky guests even spotted Dall's porpoises gliding gracefully through the ocean. It was a day filled with diverse experiences, showcasing the beauty and wildlife of the Alaskan wilderness. We celebrated a few birthdays on board, and guests ended their day with trivia.

Ideal Cove and Thomas Bay
An authentic Alaskan experience includes rain; today, we had an authentic experience for twenty-four hours straight. Our morning hikes took us through a stunning temperate rainforest, made possible by the liquid sunshine that characterizes this region. Everything dripped, and waterfalls increased in volume by the hour. The afternoon included a watercolor session led by Kimberly Wood, and a presentation on whales by Erica Wirth. Five intrepid guests signed up for a Zodiac tour in the continuous downpour, and their bravery was rewarded — they saw at least fifteen bald eagles, nosed up a creek, waved to curious harbor seals, and viewed National Geographic Sea Lion amidst literal mist. Rain creates this place, and today we soaked up that reality.

Wrangell
Today guests enjoyed an awesome day in the town of Wrangell. Groups split up for different activities including hiking Mount Dewey, e-biking, visiting Chief Shakes for a cultural experience, exploring petroglyph beach, and visiting the bears at Anan. The group who went to Anan also saw killer whales along the way, and a mink eating salmon. They wrapped up the day with recaps, dinner, and a geological presentation.
