From there the Falls and land scape get progressively more dramatic and immense.
Skagway
We will travel 15 miles down the Lynn Canal the deepest fjord in North America and visit around 15 spectacular waterfalls; we'll bring the boat in as close as possible to provide you with an intimate experience.

Fantastic tour of waterfalls in Skagway. Saw lots of eagles too. Only five of us so it was very cozy. Captain Luke was full of information about the area and all we saw. He was personable and answered lots of our questions. I highly recommend this tour.

Fun day! Ended up being just my husband and I on this trip. We saw plenty of waterfalls as well as a glacier. We also saw lots of seals and sea lions too. Alaskan native and the boat owner, Luke knew lots of interesting tid bits about the area.

Great tour. It was nice to have a more personal experience with only 5 passengers plus Luke the guide. Luke was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Shared info on the Skagway area. He was able to back the boat right up to the base of several waterfalls for an awesome experience. Also saw lots of eagles and sea mammals. Fun time!

Lucked out on the weather as it was a beautiful mild sunny day in August. Captain Luke was great and floated us by several eagle's nest prior to the waterfalls which were all great, a few even fantastic, as Captain Luke was able to back the boat in very close to the base of the falls for dramatic effect. Scenery along the way was also awesome! The on-board fresh salmon packs & beverages were a delicious addition to this more than reasonable excursion. Would recommend highly!
