We took an Orca Voyager day cruise through the Kenai Fjords National Park where we saw seals, puffins, bears and of course ORCAS! After the boat trip we tended to some van life issues before exploring more of Alaska the following day. (speaking of issues, the footage of this day is a little blurry because our camera settings were off- we had seen the Northern Lights the previous night and forgot to reset our setting- oops!)

What a lovely day for an awesome cruiseππ€β£οΈ
What an amazing video π―
You were almost Gillians Island with a six hour tour. lol what beautiful scenery. I love how Heather blames Mike for the jackery and the bed – go teamwork π
Actually thank you I would not have thought about taking a battery charger other than jumper cables. But π³π³ what if no one is around. Adding to my list.
@Geniuschargers NOCO – sponsorship? I'll definitely buy one with a Heather and Mike sponsorship. π
Can't wait for the next video.
Just an FYI. The Noco boost is working great. BUT everytime you drain your battery that low you are taking years off the life of your battery. Do a load test on your battery when you can. You don't what to be in the middle of nowhere when the batteries completely dies.
Great video! The cruise looked great. I worked for 15 years at sea and never saw a whale, very envious.
Looks like a great time. I have friends in Seward and envy their scenery most of the year!
Good luck on the bed extension!
Thank you guys once again for a great video. Just curious to ask, how is your van doing after driving it for so many miles this past year and still have to make it back home to Buffalo? Are you planning to upgrade to a larger van for future travels? I'm asking because I am still searching for the right van; however, mine will be a one-time deal, I already own a travel trailer.
Stay safe, have fun, and continue the good work.
Thanks for sharing… beautiful π
noco booster is great, wood glue…add to your travel kit when you get a chance…
Waterboy, Mike.
I am so happy that Mike got to see his orcas! How exciting. Absolutely beautiful. I'm always amazed at how blue the ice is. I remember when you were building out your van, way back in the day!
I have the same Noco, they're great! My vans 12v is not active after the truck is shutoff. I believe I did the same cruise and only saw mountain goats. Their hoofs are loud and they literally can go straight up. The Glacier was calving as well so we got some ice. Coming back it was cold and rough. Our Captain was a woman and she did a great job of dodging rough water – but still rough. I didn't see any lights, didn't get any night shots ether. Mike got a little beat up on this video, ouch… Safe Travels!
Stumbled upon this video. Tricks and tips you may be able to use?? https://youtu.be/LrMU_b6KbMQ
