Waking up in Petersburg, Alaska, is like unrolling a postcard. The air is crisp with a hint of salt from the nearby ocean, and the towering mountains stand sentinel against the soft, pastel hues of dawn. The quaint town, known for its rich Norwegian heritage, commercial fishing history, and vibrant Tlingit culture, invites exploration.

In the morning, guests could choose from a variety of activities: a guided bike tour along the waterfront, offering stunning views of the Inside Passage and fishing boats cruising by; a hike through an old growth forest and across a muskeg to discover unusual carnivorous plants; or a cultural walk with a local guide to learn about the area’s Tlingit culture.

Fortunately, all these activities were also available in the afternoon, allowing guests to fully enjoy their day in Petersburg.
