About the Goose

No cars, concrete, or giant high-rise buildings. Cruising the remote waters of Alaska is like traveling back in time, providing ample time to flex your sense of adventure, lose yourself in the details, or just take some time to decompress.

Learn about the history of our beloved Snow Goose–first designed and constructed in 1973. She was then purchased by Captain Dan Liden in 2006 and has been making trips to Alaska or working as an educational “floating laboratory” ever since.

Meet your captain, first-mate, chefs, and naturalists who will be joining you on your trip. We have been traveling to Alaska for years and are here to make your trip one of the most exciting, fun, and memorable experiences to date.

We are passionate about the planet, protecting marine wildlife, and providing safe and ecologically sound trips, which is why partner with environmental groups with the same goals.

Curious about what our trips are like? Check out our amazing photos and videos of whales, bears, glaciers, and more!

The Snow Goose spends the fall and spring in her home port of Bellingham Washington, where it holds a prominent place in the educational community.
