Humpback Whales

  We were lucky to be in Craig, AK during whalefest (2019) when the herring were spawning and humpbacks were everywhere. We asked some locals how best to go view the... read more whales, and got multiple recommendations to contact Stephanie at Emerald Island Adventures. We were not disappointed - what an awesome experience! We got to see a couple humpbacks up close, which was amazing. But there was so much wildlife! We saw dozens of bald eagles, swarms of other birds, several sea otters, and hundreds of seals and sea lions. The only other place in the world I've seen such density of wildlife is in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Getting to do this outing with Stephanie was truly the highlight of our time in Craig. Besides the epic wildlife viewing, Stephanie was very personable and took great care of us. She brought snacks and drinks onboard for us including an amazing salmon dip she made herself. Just awesome.
