Dyea
We will travel in a fully eclosed, heated boat, make a stop in Dyea, the historic gateway to the Chilkoot Trail, which was pivotal during the 1898 Gold Rush. You will have the opportunity to see the same views that greeted the early miners upon their arrival. Along our way we will stop by a few eagles' nests and our first little waterfall. 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. Waterfalls are not the only we'll be looking at so expect stops for our resident wildlife.

5.00We had Luke as our Captain . He was not only knowledgeable about the water ways and the water falls but he was also kind and helpful. We saw some amazing wildlife like eagles and seals. Luke was even able to point out a sea lion that looked exactly like a killer whale. Those silly sea lions were tricky but they couldn’t fool Luke! Luke also shared some smoked salmon with us and had drinks and hand wipes on hand for after the salmon. If you get a change to take this epic adventure, take it! And ask for Luke, he was the best!!

4.00Luke 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.

5.00One of the best excursions I've been on. I love waterfalls to begin with and I was not disappointed. Totally breath taking scenery and even say some bald eagles along the way. Waterfalls are just so beautiful to me. Definitely not disappointed.
