Tour 199

Experience two of Alaska's most spectacular waterways, Prince William Sound and the Copper River.  Prince William Sound offers 3,000 square miles of shoreline bounded by glacially-carved fjords and supports large numbers of sea birds and marine mammals including one of the world's densest populations of sea otters and killer whales. Two hundred and forty species of birds -- notably about 3,000 bald eagles and a dozen major seabird colonies -- are found in the Sound and the adjacent Copper River Delta region. The Copper River Delta is ringed by glaciers and snowcapped peaks in the relatively young Chugach Mountain Range. The Copper River is a massive wild river that flows out of the Wrangell St. Elias National Park into the sound.  While touring the river by comfortable jet-boat you will explore Child's and Miles Glaciers, the Million Dollar Bridge, and search for bears feeding on wild salmon

On arrival, you will be met by a representative of Honey Charters who will take you to the harbor to board your comfortable charter vessel.  While cruising Prince William Sound you will have the opportunity to view a variety of glaciers, cascading waterfalls and bird rookeries.
