Watching a Humpback breaching
- The TourThe Best Ocean Raft Tour in Alaska! [caption id="attachment_153" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Skagway Alaska Sightseeing Tour"][/caption] We will start by outfitting you in the same gear worn by US Coast Guard rescue teams. Everyone will wear a one-piece exposure suit to keep you warm and dry throughout the trip. You will also have Oakley goggles, gloves and balaclavas provided to enhance the experience. After you are outfitted for the trip we will board the vessel in the Skagway boat harbor, right next to the cruise ship docks. After a brief safety orientation aboard the boat we will race out into Tayia Inlet and begin our tour of North Americas longest and deepest Fjord. You will be riding on the same type of boat used by U.S. Navy Seals and Coast Guard rescue teams. With it’s deep V hull surrounded by inflatable tubes this boat is designed to deliver a comfortable ride in any ocean condition. It’s special design allows us to get extra close to the shore while exploring hidden coves, waterfalls, beaches, and wildlife. You will straddle our custom shock absorbing seats as we race by the steep rock walls of this spectacular fjord. On this fun filled two hour adventure tour your Captain will make multiple stops for photo opportunities and wildlife sightings. Our US Coast Guard certified Captains will provide a colorful narrative while under way sharing their extensive knowledge of local animals, plants, history and geology. On occasion the captain will turn the engines off allowing you to soak in the sights and sounds of this pristine Alaskan wilderness.
