Dr. Oakley, Yukon Vet Visits the Steller Sea Lions with RGA
In early July National Geographic came down to the Lynn Canal with Yukon Vet Michelle Oakley and enlisted Rainbow Glacier Adventures' guides Robert Chadwell and Bri Agenbroad to lead a kayak tour out to the Steller sea lion haul out across from Mud Bay. It was a perfect blue day to approach the strange cacophonous society of bellowing creatures.
“Awesome, awesome, awesome tour! First of all our guide Christine is a wonderful, kind and knowledgeable person. She gave us a lot of info about the area, flora, fauna and wildlife in the area. It was a magical day. We encountered overcast skies, rain, snow, sunshine. On the way we stopped to see waterfalls, a Mama bear with 3 cubs, and mountain goats on the way back. The Suspension Bridge was great to see and walk across. The scenery at the bridge and along the trip was spectacular. I really liked that this was a small group tour. I highly recommend this tour and you’d be blessed to get Christine as your personal guide. If I’m lucky enough to return to the area I will definitely book another tour with this company. Thank you Christine for a wonderful day.”
“We are so excited to have taken this tour! Nikki, our tour guide, was excellent, and stopped at many beautiful sites along the way to take pictures,and kept an eye out for wildlife. She was very patient, unrushed and informative, and a lot of fun. The area around the suspension bridge was amazing and we were able to take time to cross the bridge and take many photos. We truly felt like a good friend was taking us on the tour and would strongly recommend skipping the train and letting Nikki make some wonderful memories for you.”
