Special Trips in 2025

 

Bluewater Adventures is known for creating unique and memorable travel experiences on the British Columbia coast and Southeast Alaska. Although all are considered special, some of them are worth writing about here. Each may feature a notable bear behaviourist, an ornithologist or a First Nations Elder or artist - all contributing something of themselves and crafting an immersive, educational and unforgettable experience for each of our guests. This is what sets travel with Bluewater Adventures apart from the rest. In addition to our very talented and attentive Crew, these folks are sure to contribute to these trips in unique and meaningful ways.

13 days with Brian Falconer

Alaska is a vast and truly wild place. It is known for having the highest coastal mountain range in the world  holding one half of the world’s glaciers . Alaska is  one of only three places in the world where tidewater glaciers exist, calving icebergs into the sea.
 
On this  Southeast Alaska expedition, we devote much of the journey to exploring these breathtaking coastal mountainscapes.  Weather permitting, remote outer islands while traveling between exclusive access grizzly bear viewing areas and  prime cetacean feeding grounds.

What better way to experience this incredible landscape than with our Alaska specialist, Captain Brian Falconer?


Brian can easily be described as one of the most experienced Captains on the west coast. Dating back to the 1980’s he started leading eco-tours with his own company and fell in love with the wildlife and hidden gems of Southeast Alaska. He has built an enviable reputation coastwide while working with the Raincoast Conservation Foundation  conducting  whale and bird research, trophy hunting bear tenure buyouts, all raising the importance of conserving the BC coast. Brian has been leading expeditions with Bluewater Adventures since 2003 and  is often specifically requested by charter groups.

In 2024, we operated a custom Southeast Alaska expedition, exclusively curated and hosted by Brian. It was such a success; we are offering it again in 2025. His captivating storytelling, passion for marine exploration, wealth of knowledge on coastal ecology and wildlife conservation sets the Brian experience apart from the rest. The group size is limited to only 10 guests, so book today!

Highlights: Travel with Brian, small group bear viewing at 3 world renowned  areas,  Coronation Island – a bird nesting haven, humpback whales, sea otters, orca, many bald eagles, tour to Le Conte tidewater glacier,  impressive sunsets, wild and remote anchorages, and the countless wilderness surprises that Southeast Alaska can offer up.
