The Top 2 Boat Tours in Skagway

What is it that makes a Skagway boat tour so appealing? Is it the peaceful atmosphere of paddling on the water? Or the views of a mirror-still lake in the foreground with mountains in the background? Maybe it’s the connection with nature you’ll feel when you’re far away from the noise of city traffic. Or, perhaps it’s all these things. In any case, boat tours are a popular pastime for visitors, and we highly recommend you consider joining one during your Skagway shore time. 

On the Glacier Point Wilderness Safari, a catamaran cruise will kick off your boating experience. Traverse the 600-meter-deep fjord while looking out for porpoises, sea lions, and seals which all live in these waters. As well as snapping wildlife photos, you can also bag some extraordinary pictures of the surrounding cliffs, pretty coves, and cascading waterfalls as you pass by. Arrive at Glacier Point Beach for a short hike to take in awesome views of the Davidson Glacier, a huge glacier that runs a little under 5 miles across the Chilkat Mountain Range. Next, board a traditional canoe and paddle your way across the pretty lake before hiking to the vast glacier face. This is an epic day where outstanding sights just keep on coming!

Because this Skagway boat tour is so popular, it’s best to book ahead if you can. You won’t regret it!
