What To Expect
Our gear kit includes the following: 7mm wetsuit mask and snorkel 7mm dive gloves 7mm dive booties dive hood flippers Our experienced guides will assist all guests to make sure they are able to don the suits. Once everyone is properly suited up and outfitted, we will all hop in the Snorkelmobile and drive to one of our two dive sites. At the dive site, we will walk down into the water over a rocky shore. Both dive sites have relatively easy, walk-in entry, but will require walking over rocks. Once in the water, our knowledgable guides will swim with you, using a foamy surfboard in case anyone needs to rest or has any trouble. Our guide will also help point out wildlife. After 40-60 minutes in the water, we will all gather onshore and dry off. Afterwards we will drop our guests off downtown for their next adventure. If you are on a cruise, we will work with you to make sure you don’t miss your departure.

5.00Snorkeling in Alaska??! I was hesitant at first, but I am so glad we decided to do this! First - the staff and team were great - helpful, kind, and engaging. It was a whole ordeal to get suited up, but the staff made the process painless and fun. And the snorkeling part was so much fun! We got to see lots of fish and starfish and sea cucumbers - all very different from warm water snorkeling. It was a great experience, and our 12 year old said it was the best tour she had in Alaska!
Great time!

5.00Outstanding! Guides were very helpful and informative. We were worried about being cold but the equipment works great and if anything it’s a bit warm. This is a different snorkeling experience and we saw a ton of sea life. Crabs, starfish, sea urchins, the kelp field were amazing!
A beautiful view of what lies beneath.

5.00It was everything I was hoping for. Immersing in the kelp forest swimming with all the fish, sea stars and moon jelly’s was a great way to spend a couple hours. Andrew was extremely friendly and helpful. He gave clear and calm safety briefs to help make sure everything went smooth. When it was time to leave I felt everyone wanted to take one more lap around the island. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to see what lies beneath the waves.
