UnCruise Kids in Nature - Why Getting Kids into the Wild is Important
The opportunity to share nature with kids is a special one. Kids look at the world through a different lens and have the most fantastic questions. Kids in Nature sailings are special itineraries that take passengers to remote areas few others ever visit. Kid-friendly activities, microscopes and discovering wildlife hiding in plain sight are all a part of Kids in Nature experiences.
“Getting to sail through Southeast Alaska with a crew and on an itinerary that had our kids in mind was a completely different trip than most people get to experience. The UnCruise Kids in Nature idea is so much more than a family vacation; it was a fun expedition of learning and exploring the wilderness together.” - Rob Taylor of @2traveldads, family of four with kids ages 12 and 9.

Coming into Alaska, they really don't know what to expect, so it's very much an opportunity and a privilege for us to be able to point out everything from the large megafauna here to the tiny organisms that they may overlook and really get an idea of how important each of those organisms are to the functioning of a healthy environment. And of course, weaving in all the fun exploration aspects of it as well. Getting to look under a microscope, getting to touch, getting to taste, getting to smell. And I think that this really sets up children for a future life of wonder and excitement and expectation for the natural world.”
