Upon your arrival in Juneau today, you will be greeted at the airport and transferred directly to your stunning wilderness lodge, located in the heart of the Tongass National Forest, on the shores of Yankee Cove. Check in and spend the remainder of the day exploring the nine-acre property, taking in the breathtaking view of the Chilkat Mountain Range, or relaxing in your suite's chromatherapy soaking tub.

Dinner and cocktails will be served this evening in the lodge dining area.

Begin your final day with breakfast at the lodge, and then meet the motorboat that will drop you and your sea kayaks at the nearby sea lion rookery for a two-hour guided kayak voyage in the peaceful waters bordering the Tongass National Forest.

Return to the lodge for lunch, after which you will be transferred to the airport in time to meet your departure flight, or to continue on to your next Willing Foot destination.
