For whale watching at it's very best, we offer morning and afternoon excursions into Icy Strait — Southeast Alaska's fabulous Humpback whale feeding grounds. Pt. Adolphus, at the northern tip of Chichagof Island, is world-famous for the gathering of these gentle giants. Their unique feeding techniques, vocalizations and acrobatics make every tour unforgettable.
Listen to Humpback Whales (MP3)
Hear the songs, feeding and communication calls made by the whales of Glacier Bay and Icy Strait in Southeast Alaska. "Voices of Humpback Whales ~ Alaska" was recorded by Brad and Tamara Rice.
Submerge yourself into the wild depths and listen to astonishing and unimaginable sounds of the Humpback Whales feeding and communication calls in their underwater world.
Pure organic whale talk with no music additives.
The Humpback whales are vocal, with sounds beyond imagination. This CD is not the familiar recordings of gentle ocean sounds and whales singing in the distance. These whales are in your face! You will hear the Humpbacks interacting with breathtaking underwater sounds and calls, the trumpeting sound of their breathing, and the water rippling off of these gentle giants bodies. Finally a CD for worldwide whale enthusiasts, where the whale calls are exciting, rapid, and sometimes startling. This CD will blow the lid off of the belief that Humpbacks just sing.
"Our hope is that this collection of sounds, created by Humpback whales at their feeding grounds in Alaska, will help bring attention to the fact that every person has a responsibility to protect and care for the world's oceans and their magnificent inhabitants." -- Brad and Tamara Rice
REVIEW: "This CD introduces the listener to an astonishing new dimension of the Humpback whale's vocal repertoire recorded on their summer feeding grounds in Southeast Alaska. These quality recordings, unadulterated by studio music, remind us that the world of the Humpback whale is indeed rich with sound, and that what we see at the surface is only a small facet of their wild and mysterious world." -- Janet Neilson, Humpback Whale Biologist
