We never got to experience this excursion due to miscommunication during the booking. We were given very misleading details. We were told that there would be no problem making the excursion time when our boat docked at 1:30 and excursion began at 2 pm. We were told that someone would meet us at the pier to take us to the excursion. When no one was there, I tried calling the numbers given and no one answered. When I finally got some one to answer the phone which was past the meeting time, II was told that they had left and that we were suppose to take a shuttle to the meeting location. I was informed that there was no refund even though missing our connection with the group was not our fault. I was given multiple numbers to call and given the run around. The last person I spoke to simply hung up on me when I explained the situation and requested a refund. The other two Alaskan excursions from other companies provided very explicit details and were wonderful! Avoid Viator at all cost!

I was really looking forward to authentic gold panning in Alaska. The creeks here are allegedly filled with gold, and this gold panning adventure intrigued me because 1) it was in a creek, 2) the prospector was going to show you how to pan for gold, 3) it allotted more time in the creek than the tour with the salmon bake. I wanted the experience of panning for gold in an Alaskan creek, with a knowledgable prospector and to take some stories home, along with maybe a gold flake or two. However, such was not the case. We were brought to the creek. There was no 'prospector' to put on the 'prospecting show.' We had two guides who briefly showed us how to swirl the water in the pre-packed pans. The guides were very nice, but they were not at all the 'prospectors' we were promised in the ad. The guides then instructed us on how to swirl the pans in the trough, or, if we wanted to, in the creekbed. At no time did the guides check on us to see if we were doing it correctly, provide further instruction or assistance, or encouragement. They did not provide any prospector stories, instruction on where to look in the creek for gold. There were no stories of the gold rush, and nobody instructed us how to pan for gold in the creek. AND, the Gold Panning/Salmon Bake van full of people were in our group. I was under the impression we would have two hours in the tour, and if we chose the salmon bake/gold panning tour that was also two hours. I chose this tour because it allegedly offered more timein the creek. It didn't. We panned for the pre-made panned gold in the trough the same amount of time the Salmon Bank individuals did. On the positive - The guides were nice. There was a creek and it was next to the old gold mine. We swirled our pans outdoors next to the creek. Overall - Needless to say, very disappointing and I would not recommend. I expected an Alaskan experience gold panning in a creek, with stories from a Prospector. There was no prospector and we panned for gold in pre-made dirt pans which we sifted through in a trough, not a creek (although if we wanted to do so with no guidance we were welcome to jump in the creek.)

We booked the gold panning only but were on a bus with several families that also booked a salmon bake. We were picked up in town around 11:45. The guide informed us we would get cheated out of about 20 minutes because he had to get them to the salmon bake. Then another family informed the driver they had to be back onboard their cruise ship at 1pm and he said that was fine. We got to the river and the gold panning was very fun. My girls loved it but almost as soon as it began we were told we had to rush back to the bus. There was about 50 minutes of driving total so we got maybe 15 minutes of gold panning. My girls were so disappointed and we felt ripped off. I ended up booking a last minute dog sledding tour for an outrageous sum.
