Our family of 5 had done some whale watching and was looking for another way to be on the water - with more speed, excitement and maybe a different perspective. The Ocean Raft Adventure fit the bill. Suited up in what looked like Apollo space suits (to keep us warm and buoyant), we were ushered into a small raft with motorcycle-like seating and one bench in back. This was an adventure for the speed lovers among us, as we zipped along the shore - getting THIS close to those rocky outcroppings, hidden waterfalls and other beautiful areas that we missed on our whale watching adventures. We saw our share of wildlife, and were kept abreast of our surroundings by the crew who took care that we were comfortable and warm. It was definitely different, and gave us an exciting and beautiful look at Skagway, which has one of the most beautiful harbors we were to see on our cruise. This is not a trip for anyone who gets motion-sick, is timid, or who has mobility/balance issues. But if you want some fun and can handle speed, bouncing and hairpin turns in the middle of a cold Alaskan harbor, go for it!
