Eco-family tours

Tap into your children's sense of wonder and renew your own, on a small ship tour into the Alaskan wilderness.

But before they travel, families are invited to examine ExploringCircle’s six related environmental causes, choosing one to which to pledge their support. This conversation is vital to the company’s mission. By talking about, for example, plastic detritus in oceans, young and old alike while on a cruise can wrap their minds around threats to ocean waters and to marine and wildlife.

ExploringCircle in turn Pays-it-Forward by donating up to five percent of client fee to the environmental cause chosen.

Two itineraries are recommended for families with children ages eight (exceptions may allow for as young as age four) and up. The season is May through August. On each, children and adults will kayak, hike, examine starfish in tidal pools, paddle board, and beachcomb.

Opportunities abound to sight whales, bears, dolphins, sea otters, eagles and all kinds of wildlife close-up from the decks of the vessel or by inflatable launch. Kids enjoy the hot tubs, games, kid-friendly DVDs, and books available onboard. Other children’s activities may include: a Polar bear plunge, field research with on-board equipment, crafts involving nature, wildlife and native culture, cooking opportunities, bridge visits featuring 20 Questions with the Captain and beach bonfires with s’mores.
