We had the best time! A small group experience (there were 3 of us total in the group). Sophie and Molly were our guides and were very knowledgeable, funny and so nice. We had a great paddle and little hike even taking some time to look for gold, pyrite, and garland in the rocks. They also gave us great recommendations for restaurants, bars, hikes, and other things to do around Juneau.
This tour company is small, local and does not have any affiliation with any of the cruise lines making it perfect for the personalized experience you are looking for. I highly recommend this tour.
