Absolutely loved the hike and float. Our guide was easy going and very knowledgeable. If you want to experience the land this is the perfect excursion. One of my favorite days spent in Alaska.

Great hike and storytelling from Owen. Good pacing on the hills and plenty of time to enjoy the scenery.

What an excellent tour. We had a family of 9 (7 kids ages 5-18) and the hike was amazing. Brooke was an excellent guide. Stopped and took the time to show us different trees, plants, and berries. The float trip was relaxing and we seen several bald eagles. The snacks at the end was a nice freshening surprise.

We had a great guide who was really nice and knowledgeable. I think her name was Brooke. She seemed to really care about everyone's safety. It was a fun hike and float. Everything went very smooth. Great time and exactly as described.

This was a great experience. I consider the hike more than moderately difficult, but it was worth the effort to get to the float. The scenery was amazing and the guide was very good about using breaks to point things out while allowing others in the group to take make the hike at a reasonable pace.

The guides did a great job. My wife was having difficulty with the steep hills on the hike. The second guide stayed with her until the ground was smooth. The whole crew went above and beyond to assure a fun, educational, and SAFE event. Thank you. I would do this again.

We really loved this hike and float. The drive, hike and float were all beautiful. I love hiking but haven't gotten to hike much in Alaska so that was my favorite part. Our guide was awesome and did a great job of checking in on everyone to make sure we were doing well. And also a great job of sharing info about the area. This was a wonderful way to spend our time in Skagway!
May 2019 - Reuben M.
This was a delightful excursion. A small group of us spending time in the beautiful outdoors of Skagway. The hike was not terribly difficult and the float down the river was peaceful and lovely. And the crew that was with us (Joe, Heidi, Hannah) were all great. Easy to talk to and seemed sincerely interested in us. Highly recommend.

What a beautiful hike! Joe was very knowledgable and taught us a lot about the forest. The float was a great way to see Alaska from a new perspective!

This excursion was by far my favorite experience from my Alaskan travels. The hike took us through beautiful woody areas and the float was a perfect relaxation afterward. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable which made the entire experience top notch.

Sam was our guide and he was great! I loved the fact he was hiking in sandals. Very informative about a lot of different plants and habits of alaska. Hike was not difficult but definitely uneven terrain as stated. The float was great and beautiful and we even got to see some river seals along the way!

As grandparents, we took our third granddaughter on this excursion. The early part of the climb is a challenge but the guide stopped often enough to let us catch our breath. The guide was very knowledgeable and even let some of our younger passengers work the oars on the raft. We would do it again.

Great time and wonderful guide!!
Jul 2018 - Joanne T.
This was a great excursion! We were picked up right at the ship by a very friendly and enthusiastic guide named Becca. She was awesome, very knowledgable about the history of Skagway and Dyea. She also was a wealth of information about the plants we encountered on our hike and about the changing landscape of the river. The scenery was beautiful. The hike is a bit strenuous but we were provided with hiking poles which made it more manageable. Definitely worth the money. If you're not afraid of sweating a little, do it!
Jul 2018 - Terry A.
This was a very nice hike, nothing strenuous at all. Beautiful scenery. Stopped several times for us to rest & talk to us. The float was great! Wasn't nervous at all bc u could tell guide knew what he was doing. He was very knowledgeable & nice! (Can't remember his name, young, dark hair) Worth the money!

We had an amazing time. Joe our Excursion lead was awesome he was knowledgeable and considerate. The hike was pretty steep at some points but very manageable. We saw quite a few eagles and enjoyed the relaxing float.
Jul 2018 - James M.
This excursion was as advertised. Our guide, Joe, was friendly, easy-going and knowledgeable. The only thing that would have made it better was a few more wildlife sitings.

There were 6 of us led by Ryan, who is personable & knowledgeable. We all had a great time on this wonderful tour- highly recommend.

There are several companies that run this tour. This one is called Skagway Float Tours and I highly recommend them. I booked this independently of the cruise line and saved about a third of the cost. The rep was easy to find at the terminal. Do not worry - you will make it back in time despite the cruise lines' scare tactics. Skagway is so small there are no issues. The guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and truly enjoyed his job. Customer service was excellent. I generally am not one to post reviews but I had such a great experience, the best way I can thank them is to provide some positive feedback for the next parties.

Our tour guide was amazing and really went above and beyond for us when we had an unexpected event.
Jul 2017 - Sri B.
What a guide - Amazing. First I was concerned that the guide was aged and wondered how he would do the hike. Boy was I wrong. He was great and very knowledgeable. This was one of our best hikes yet in Alaska. Would do it again and this trail is simply the best. We plan on doing a longer one the next time we visit. Don't even think twice about this - just do it. You will love it

like the wildness of Alaska, our coach Brain did a good job ! just make sure you dress warm before you getting into the floater.

Great hike !!! We had an excellent guide Sam who was very kind and informative
May 2016 - Mark R.
Great hike and tour guide - JC is the absolute best! Hike goes up and down moderate to steep terrain- you should be reasonably fit to complete it. The float back was a nice relaxing way to return- no white water. Scenery was awesome and we saw several eagles on the float back.
