The last day aboard National Geographic Sea Bird was action packed! Guests awoke to Expedition Leader Oren Frey announcing that there were orcas around the ship, which we had the opportunity to watch for some time before breakfast. In the afternoon, guests were treated to a plethora of hike options, anywhere from a long bushwack to a casual forest wander through the Tongass National Forest. Before cocktail hour, the most adventurous of guests jumped into the frigid waters of Saook Bay, while our Global Explorers had the opportunity to learn to drive Zodiacs. It’s always bittersweet saying goodbye to the people we have gotten to know so well, but we hope that we have created stewards and ambassadors of the wild, Alaska, and nature.
