 MICHELLE GRAVES, Expedition Leader, Top Picks & Other Essential Items
One of the biggest surprises for most first-time visitors is that this part of Alaska is a rainforest and many days are cloudy and misty. A comfortable, waterproof rain jacket like our "Zodiac Rider's " Jacket will keep you warm and dry whether you're kayaking, on a Zodiac "ice tour" or watching wildlife from the deck of the ship.
Exploring on land is always a highlight, so we go ashore by Zodiac and hike into this pristine rainforest on bear or deer trails that are often very muddy. Our Arctic Sport Boots are the perfect choice to help you get the most of your Southeast Alaska experience. You’ll be glad you brought these knee-high waterproof boots that are also comfortable for hiking.
A good pair of binoculars, like "Amphibian H2O® Binoculars", will enhance your viewing of Alaska's abundant wildlife, from ship or shore, rain or shine.
I hope you find this advice helpful in packing for your expedition to Southeast Alaska. Bring your sense of adventure and discover why this wild corner of the planet keeps me coming back year after year!
