August 28, 2024,Great Wildlife Day 🛥️🐳🐬🦅🐐🌧️

What do you do in Alaska when it's pouring with rain? 🌧️ For example, experience an epic day on the water! And make it absolutely unforgettable and unique! Right at the port of Seward we went on a big tour with Major Marine Tours. The ship, the crew and the route, everything was just GREAT.
