We had a delightful time walking one of the most beautiful forest trails that I have ever been on! Bob was great- a real character with fascinating stories and insight, and very considerate of everyone in the tour. Great experience!

Joe our tour guide did a great job the whole trip. Very knowledgeable and personable. Hike was beautiful with all the changes in elevation and then to top it off with the float down the river to see all Skagway's beauty.

We thoroughly enjoyed our beautiful hike and float trip! Our guide Stuie was friendly, knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the flora and geology of SE Alaska. We found this tour when the cruise ship cancelled a similar tour we booked and we are so glad we did not give up in search of combo hike/float. Stuie also gave us wonderful tips for Olympic National Park after our cruise too. Thank you!!
