Chichagof Island (Shee Kaax), Alaska Cruise Port

Named after the famous Russian explorer of the Arctic, Admiral Vasili Chichagov, Chichagof Island is one of the most isolated and unblemished islands in the world. Interestingly, Admiral Vasili never set foot anywhere on what today is the state of Alaska. Cruise to the 5th largest island in the United States and 109th largest in the world and explore a land where deep sea fishing, logging, and hunting are a daily routine for the less than 2,000 inhabitants of the island. This bio-diverse gem in the arctic, is characterized with an abundance of flora and fauna. Eagles, deer, and brown bears dot the Chichagof landscape. Residents of the island, realize the rarity of such an environment in this modern day and embraced a sustainable approach to daily living. Below are a few of the activities you will enjoy after cruising to Chichagof Island:
 
  • Take a guided hike with the locals along the beach and into the woods. Nature buffs will enjoy collecting small crabs on the beach as well as coming close to and seeing the deer and eagles that fill the islands landscape.
