Imagine observing a developing scenario of huge schools of Pacific herring by the thousands of tons gathering along a spectacular Alaska shoreline waiting for their eggs to ripen and for all of the required conditions to become just right for them to spawn their eggs – a magnificent celebration of spring itself!

Pacific herring are the center of attention as this drama unfolds attracting a host of amazing wildlife that creates an incredible show of nature as predator pursues prey along a beautiful isolated Alaska shoreline. The high caloric, oil-rich herring are a critical part of the diet for humpback whales, orca, harbor seals, bald eagles plus a myriad of gulls and sea birds that require highly nutritious fish to replenish body reserves severely exhausted through winter survival.

While the eagles soar and circle overhead, Steller sea lions and humpback whales cruise near the shoreline before rushing and lunging through the huge schoolsof herring gathering there…

You can witness all of the action just off the bow of the Alaska Adventurer and capture close-up images of this magnificent annual spring time festival of nature!

This exclusive trip is limited to a group of six persons.
