For a worry-free day, we highly recommend storing your luggage at your hotel or the Seward Train Depot before embarking on the tour. We also recommend seeing if your cruise line can transfer your bags directly to your hotel or the Train Depot for you. We can hold your luggage, but only during the time of the tour.

We recommend booking this tour earlier in the day when possible, as it allows more flexibility to adjust your flight if weather conditions change. With departures available throughout the day, you can still choose a time that best fits your schedule.

There are 2 helicopters available throughout most of the summer season. If you are part of a large group and give us advance warning, we will try to make more machines available.
