Before reaching the SeaLife Center, we’ll stop for lunch (included in the tour cost), and then we’ll explore the aquatic aspects of Alaska at the SeaLife Center. There, you can see wildlife like Stellar sea lions, harbor seals, ringed seals, a variety of sea birds like tufted puffins, king elders, and black oystercatchers, fish like the wolf eel and Coho salmon, the giant Pacific octopus, rose star, and many more species

At Exit Glacier, take in the sights of the dense blue ice and even hear it crackling. This glacier is one of the most visited road-accessible glaciers in Alaska! Look at the markers and see how much the glacier has melted throughout the years. We also visit the Salmon Research Center to learn more about this marine species.
