AdventureSmith Explorations

WINNER

How do you get access to the best wilderness locations in the West? Get aboard a small ship with AdventureSmith Explorations. Small ship cruising combines the comforts of a cruise ship with the adventure of sea kayaking, hiking and exploring remote wilderness areas ashore. And all meals, guides, and gear are included, sailing along with you. Due to the ship’s nimble size, flexible schedules and ability to spend nights at anchor in remote coves, the experience gets you deep into the root of a place. Think waking up in a silent Alaskan cove surrounded by snow-capped mountains or watching a sunset in Baja California with no other ships or towns in sight. From Alaska and the Pacific Northwest to Baja and Hawaii and the rivers in between, AdventureSmith Explorations can take you there. The Truckee, California-based travel company is the global leader in small ship, adventure cruise vacations.
