Description
Towering waterfalls, rugged cliffs, and abundant wildlife make the upper Lynn Canal one of Alaska’s most breathtaking waterways. The Skagway Waterfall & Wildlife Tour is a small-group Alaska shore tour that takes you deep into North America’s deepest fjord, where sheer rock faces rise dramatically from the water and lush forests cling to the mountainsides. Keep your eyes on the shoreline—harbor seals often rest on rocky outcrops, bald eagles circle overhead, and, if you're lucky, you might spot a whale surfacing in the distance.
Your experienced captain will guide you through these historic waters, sharing stories of Skagway’s past and pointing out the remnants of shipwrecks that still rest along the coastline. One of the highlights of the journey is a stop at a secluded glacial harbor, where the towering peaks and pristine waters create a scene straight from an Alaskan postcard. As you take in the scenery, enjoy a taste of Alaska with locally smoked salmon and crackers, a perfect complement to the crisp coastal air.
This Skagway shore tour offers a rare opportunity to explore the region’s stunning natural beauty away from the crowds. With limited departures available, the Skagway Waterfall & Wildlife Tour fills up quickly—secure your spot today!
