2021
promises to be an epic year for adventures. After the long struggles with isolation, social turmoil and yes, claustrophobia, a return to adventure travel is beyond welcome. If there was ever a time to nourish your soul in the beauty of nature, it’s on the way. Adventures Northwest will be leading three photography cruises in Alaska this summer. We’ll be travelling aboard the M/V David B., an elegant 65-foot wooden boat built in 1929 and lovingly refurbished and updated by Jeffrey and Christine Smith, a husband-and-wife team that live to explore the astoundingly beautiful coastline of Alaska. You will never find people that love what they do more than Jeffrey and Christine. Adventure travel on the David B. is in a league of its own—the opposite of industrial tourism.

Brown Bear at Pack Creek, Admiralty Island
This tour offers up the rich diversity of the wonders of Southeast Alaska in a non-stop succession of visual astonishments: Frederick Sound and its humpback whales; Fords Terror, with its lacework of waterfalls; and a close encounter with the towering face of the Dawes Glacier. For many, the highlight is a visit to the Pack Creek Bear Viewing Area on Admiralty Island, called Kootznoowoo by the Tlingit people who live here. Translation: Fortress of the Bears. This name is apt. The island boasts the highest concentration of brown bears in North America (one per square mile!).
