Excursion Inlet • Southeast Alaska
Where the wild is right outside your door.
Whales offshore. Bears along the shoreline. Around here, the wildlife is just part of the trip.
More than just a fishing trip
Some of the best sightings are from the front porch while enjoying a morning coffee.
From whales in front of the dock, to brown bears along the shoreline, wildlife is a part of everyday life at Salmon Run. You never know what you'll spot from the boat, the dock, or the wraparound porch.
01 / on the water
Keep an eye on the horizon.
Humpback whales, orca, sea lions, seals, porpoises and sea otters all share these waters. A quiet ride back to the lodge can turn into a story that you'll tell for years to come.
02 / Along the shore
The forest is home to many bears.
Bears are among the animals you'll see strolling the shores in the inlet. Watch from a respectful distance and let the wild stay wild.
03 / after dark
Stay up a little longer.
When conditions line up, the northern lights can make an unforgettable experience. The bioluminescence is equally incredible.
The best part?
You don't need to book a separate wildlife tour. The trip is the tour.
