    Waterfall
    Mike F.

    My friend and I decided to check out this excursion while in port from our cruise ship. It was awesome! [Customer Service] Awesome from the start.... We had a very friendly shuttle driver whose name I did not catch. Our tour guide Allysa was very easy on the eyes, informative and was talking to everyone individually making sure that all of our questions were answered. She also took pics of anyone who wanted pictures at the waterfalls. She also made us rotate halfway through the tour so everyone could have a different vantage point. Our Driver, Christian, did an awesome job driving the boat at high speeds. Not sure how he held on to the steering wheel. Haha. [Scenery] Saw about 5 bald eagles, their nests, lots of seals and tons of waterfalls. [Boat] Our boat had 750 horsepower! What What! About 4 people per row. Saddle up! That's basically what you're sitting on. Hold on with one hand. [Gear] They provided Orange jumpers that keep you warm. Fortunately, the weather was amazing and you really didn't even need the suits. Although, they are mandatory to wear because they are your flotation device. Also, provided were gloves and goggles if you wanted them.There were also life jackets under your seat. Highly Recommend!

    Survival suits for warmth and style!

    Ocean Raft Alaska has been a highlight of our trip, truly a "can't miss" experience. The staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. The equipment is well designed and functional. The boat is bumpy but comfortable in the back and bucks and bounces in front for the more adventurous crowd. The trip allows an up-close view of the fjord that couldn't be accomplished any other way and the views are breathtaking. Of note, this is not a good choice for someone with a neck or back injury but is okay for someone with limited mobility. The staff accommodated one of our group with grace and kindness and anticipated his needs at every turn.

    AMAZING. From start to finish. Crew was so fun and helpful. We saw so many cool things. Captains Ashley and Jen were FABULOUS! Kept us all safe and well informed. If you want a more calm ride sit towards the back. A tad more adventurous sit up front.

    Having a bit of fun on our tour

    Glacier Point Wilderness Safari - Canoeing back from the glacier.

    Glacier Point Wilderness Safari

    Off the grid might be an understatement…read more People say, "it isn't about the destination, its about the journey, man". In this case, the destination, Davidson Glacier, was stunning, but getting there was the real adventure. When we disembarked in Skagway, we didn't have an excursion pre-reserved. We wanted to get away from the endless jewelry stores and tourist traps and do something active, but didn't want to take any of the helicopter or small plane trips (long story). So we looked over the options offered by a local tour company [1] and decided on the Glacier Point Wilderness Safari. It was described as a high speed jet catamaran ride followed by a nature walk and canoe trip to the edge of a glacier. What we didn't realize is that we would leave civilization far behind and embark on something more unique than we realized. We left the metropolis of Skagway (pop. 1500 in high season) on the catamaran for an hour cruise to the remote area of Glacier Point. On the boat, our guide started telling us about the area and the group of hardy and humorous souls that live on the island during the summer months. You see every summer ten people live and work on the island in a little community with no running water or electricity while taking visitors to the glacier. And when the weather turns bad, which it invariably does in Alaska, and the trips are canceled, they have the place all to themselves. And boy was it beautiful. We were the first group to visit after a 3-day storm and they were really happy to see some new faces. Half the fun of the excursion was talking to the guides and asking them about their daily life on the island and what brought them there. It was fun to imagine what it would be like to join them for a few weeks in this exquisite solitude, but I know my limits. One of our family jokes is that I'm a 'state park kinda girl.' The canoe trip was a bit of a disappointment because we are a family of paddlers and although you are in a 30' Voyager canoe, the paddling itself is brief and ceremonial since the guide operates an outboard motor. And based on the skills (or lack thereof) of the motley crew of tourists, the motor is a good call. I wouldn't categorize the trip as active since you do far more sitting than walking or paddling. It was extremely cold, so take them up on their offer of extra layers. Unlike our other visits to glaciers, we got close in and time stood still as we gazed at the intense blue color, fragments, cracks, crags and landslides. Alaska is a land constantly on the move. Most glaciers are receding at an alarming rate, so there was awe tinged with sadness that it will never be the same. You've got to take it all in while it lasts. They had silly jokes, songs, provided history about the area and facts about glaciers. It was totally interactive and you never got the sense they were just going through the motions. All in all, one of our favorite outings in Alaska. And it was WAY OUT. [1] We booked through M&M tours, but others booked in advance through their cruise ships although this tour was not an option on Princess Cruises excursion list.

    While we were on our Alaskan Cruise, we took an excursions in Skagway. We met with our tour guide…read morenear the dock, and took a quick boat ride across the Lynn Canal to the other side. The Lodge was located right off the small dock. They had a quite spacious land around the lodge, and even thought it was grey and misty out, we could still see across the water and a few cruise ships. As soon as we entered the lodge, it was so warm and welcoming, it was great! They offered mimosa, and of course, we didn't say no. They also had other drinks like Alaskan Beer, which my hubby also had in addition to the mimosa. After a nice mimosa, the "naturalist" staff took us for a quick walk outside. Then, we followed the guide and the wooden signs towards the waterfall. It was not very far, and we could hear the gushing water from nearby distance. Once we arrived at the Waterfall Grotto, it was so powerful and strong, it reminded me of a Seinfeld Show when George (a.k.a. Marine Biologist) said "The sea was angry that day my friends"...LOL. Even our guide was amazed at its powerful flow, he said that it is normally more calm, but with the rain, it has become a monster. After a nice little walk to the waterfall, we went on a rainforest hike. The guide took us to the top of the hill, we got to see another waterfall, also powerful and beautiful. The view from up here was really nice, nothing but nature. After the hike, we returned to the lodge, and it was time for Dungeness crab and shrimp boil! The staff had it all cooked up in one pot, and was just getting them onto a HUGE bowl. It was oh-so-good-for-your-soul food! Then, it was time for dessert. They had big marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate, calling out for S'more lovers, and decadent double chocolate brownies. We learned a lot about the rich history about Burro Creek, and the beautiful nature surrounding the area. We took in lots of fresh air and delicious food, and had loads of fun! This was THE best excursion that we took during our Alaskan Cruise.

    This experience was supreme. The staff's motto of "we want you to treat this as your own home",…read moreset the stage for a divine afternoon. My Mom, brother and myself rated this as our #1 excursion on our Alaskan cruise as a result of the excellent team. All are to be commended. The facilities from boat, dock, lodge, hiking trails were pristine. The hospitality was warm and friendly. The food and drink offerings were plentiful and delicious. My favorite moments were hiking on well marked trails and feeling the loamy soil underfoot and sitting on the outdoor porch drinking wine by the suspension bridge gazing to the mountains surrounding Skagway. As stated by the staff "you will not want to leave!"! I inquired about conducting a Yoga retreat here and hope they'll be able to accommodate overnight guests soon. Thank you for making this possible. Peace to all.
