From there the Falls and land scape get progressively more dramatic and immense.

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.

Luke was very knowledgeable and easily shared information with us. There were 3 of us from the cruise ship this particular morning. We did get to take our packet of salmon to taste later, although the tour details listed it as if we were going to stop and have the salmon on some crackers and a sample of a local tiddle, whatever that was ? But There was no mention of this on the day. Boat Cruise ended at 2.5 hrs, not 3 hrs. I was not bothered as it gave me extra time in the town, but given that the tour is titled 3hr alaska waterfalls, it was a bit perplexing. We did see some harbour seals and a bald eagle.

Captain Luke was just the best! His boat allows for close-up viewing of waterfalls and wildlife. He was super accommodating and knowledgeable. I'd do this tour again, as it was my favorite experience in Skagway!
