ADVENTURES AFLOAT

Join us aboard our elegant, classic 106' M/V VALKYRIE for your personalized Inside Passage wilderness sightseeing, whalewatching, cruising and/or fishing experience.

Personalizing and Reserving your Adventure

These are helpful details for planning your adventure:

What is the focus of your adventure? Whalewatching, fishing, cruising?
What are your preferred dates? How long do you want to adventure?
Will you join an already planned adventure or construct your own plan?
How many guests will be in your party?
How can we help coordinate with your arrival and departure in Juneau?
Are there any special dietary needs?
What are your other special requests and needs?

When you have a good idea of the adventure you have in mind, give us a call or email us, and we will help you finalize your itinerary and the cost.

What to bring: Adventures Afloat dress is casual and comfortable. We don't ordinarily dress for dinner. Bring cameras, a warm, waterproof jacket or layered clothing, gloves, hat, and waterproof boots, if available. Shorts are great for those warm sunny days. We supply fishing gear and binoculars, and we have a limited supply of boots and raingear.

If you have a fly-in component: Your jumping-off point for fly-in adventures is the floatplane pond at the Juneau International Airport. Fly-in adventures work very well if your primary objective is fishing. Your flightseeing component is a part of your adventure package. Floatplanes are small, so bring only the basic necessities. Store extra gear in Juneau before departure to M/V VALKYRIE. Small, soft-sided luggage packs easily.

If you choose to cruise: Cruising adventures usually begin and end at A5 Aurora Harbor, in downtown Juneau. If we cruise from one port to another, consult your itinerary.

Group size: M/V VALKYRIE accommodates twelve guests plus crew. If your party is six or more people, the entire vessel is reserved just for you. Smaller parties may be combined with other guests who desire a similar adventure.
