Adventure or bust! With a morning full of true expedition, National Geographic Quest anchored within the boundaries of Security Bay State Marine Park on Kuiu Island. Known for its history of logging, this protected area is an excellent site for explorations by land and by sea. In a downpour appropriate for the temperate rainforest, guests took to kayaks and paddleboards and played with harbor seals and sea otters. In the forest, guests followed game trails created by black bears and moose, moving through bushes and over logs. In the afternoon, special guests from the Alaska Whale Foundation were picked up in Baranof Warm Springs Bay. The foundation is Lindblad Expedition’s regional partner, and two student researchers shared what our Conservation Fund has helped them discover about our humpback and killer whale populations.

Salt Chuck Bay
We started the morning in Salt Chuck Bay under beautiful, partly sunny skies. We had perfect conditions for our first kayaking adventure. The sandy beach at low tide allowed kayakers an easy entrance into the serene and quiet world of paddling. While some guests paddled away, the rest of the group explored the intertidal zone and took a quick walk in the forest. The afternoon weather held, and we enjoyed one of the expedition team’s favorite activities: exploring the Inian Islands by Zodiac. Steller sea lions argued and growled on the rocks, birds flew overhead, and sea otters roiled in the currents. It all made for a perfect afternoon.

Ushk Bay and Chatham Strait
We were met today with ideal Alaskan weather: crisp, clear, and calm. We enjoyed perfect conditions for hiking through the forests and alluvial meadow of Ushk Bay. We split into groups depending on hiking desires and set off into the wilderness. We hiked on game trails through forests of western hemlock and Sitka spruce, crossed shallow streams, gazed at spring wildflowers, and investigated intertidal organisms. It was a lovely morning of stretching our legs and exploring the temperate rainforest. In the afternoon, we cruised along the gorgeous fjords of Peril Strait and Chatham Strait, where we searched for wildlife. We were delighted to find a humpback whale that was repeatedly diving and coming up to the surface to lunge feed. It was rolling and slapping its pectoral fins and putting on quite a display of behaviors that were a joy to watch. It was a wonderful first day of expeditions aboard National Geographic Quest .
