The Ocean-Raft Alaska experience we had during our recent trip to Alaska was one of the high points of our trip. The excursion is fun & exciting and the scenery is simply awesome. We saw eagles, seals, waterfalls, peaks, and, of course, the stunning fjord of the Taiya Inlet.
The tour guides are fun, laid-back dudes who are a refreshing change from the slick tour operators and bus drivers with pre-planned "comedy" routines: these are genuine guys who obviously love Alaska & their enthusiasm is part of the fun -- as are the breakneck speeds at which they take the Zodiac Hurricane craft. And it's pure fun to dress up in the "exposure suits" they provide -- you sort of feel like the music from "The Right Stuff" should be playing in the background. Our family -- our two twenty-something sons & the sixty-something parents -- totally enjoyed it.
This tour isn't listed among the Princess Cruise line excursions -- book it at the M&M Tours stand at the end of the Skagway Cruise Ship Pier.
