A GREEN MISSION
Sea Wolf Adventures is a Green, Conservation driven Eco-Tourism small ship cruise adventure company.
As rugged as it appears, Southeast Alaska's environment in reality, encompasses hundreds of vulnerable ecosystems. These systems, in the air and on land and water are melded together by fragile food webs that support the amazing flora and fauna that makes up this part of planet earth. On our natural history cruises we explore the glacial fjords- traveling to where new life is attaching itself to barren, glacial scrubbed rock and then following the succession of plant and animal life in Glacier Bay National Park. Our expert naturalists share with you not only their botany, geology, wild and marine life knowledge but past and current climate science about the wilderness- it's known affects and possible outcomes. Immersing yourself into a pristine wilderness brings home to each person how there are not many places left like this in the world. Most harbor a dream of rebuiding fractured ecosystems in our own neighborhoods, towns, states and countries -in a sustainable and green plan which promotes healthy lifestyles for humans and a future for all living things. You can make a difference.
