This was a great tour! Our tour guide Joe was funny and full of great stories. We learned a lot about the wildlife and ecology of the area. He gave us plenty of time to hike around the forest. The river float was amazing too. The scenery was spectacular and our family had the best time. Highly recommend!

This was not just a highlight of our trip, but a transcendant experience. Our guide, Joe, was chill, knowledgeable, and incredibly skilled on the river. He led us through the hike at just the right pace, stopping in a meadow of such sublime beauty and tranquility that I will remember it always as one of life's perfect moments. The float section of the trip was equally stellar. Floating through glacially cold water, guided by Joe's seemingly effortless navigation, the silence, the views, and the tranquility renewed our spirits and soothed our souls. I cannot sufficiently recommend this excursion. Thank you, Joe, for one of my life's perfect moments.

Went on this excursion solo, and was placed with a family of 5 - had a great time. Owen was a very informative guide - loved hearing about the history of the area as well the flora and fauna during the trek. The forest did have a bit of "stair" climbing and lots of roots/rocks to maneuver over, the trekking pole that was offered did come in handy at times. No bear sightings but did see ground squirrels and bald eagles. The glacial river that we cruised down was smooth and relaxing. Definitely recommend and bonus was able to support a local business.

This trip totally exceeded our expectations. We spent a fascinating morning, exploring the area of Dyea, just a short drive away from Skagway. Traveling with only one other family made this a very personal, small group experience, which was lovely. Top marks to our guide, Owen, for providing us with an in depth insight into this amazing place. We learned about the natural environment, the flora and fauna of the Tongass rainforest, and the prominent part that Dyea played in the Klondike Gold Rush. The stunning beauty of the landscape, and the peace of the forest were a joy to experience. Owen explained that the route for our hike had been changed this season, due to flood damage last year, on the original trail. This resulted in an easy, level, walk around the forest, rather than a more challenging hike, which was fine with us. Our float back down the river was the perfect way to end our trip, soaking up the incredible scenery, and watching the wildlife, including the majestic bald eagles. Fabulous. Thank you, Owen, for sharing your love of this very special place with us.

The hike was a moderate hike. Unfortunately we, couldn't go all the way. But our intrepid leader, Bob, was a wonderful guide and storyteller. He kept us engaged with his knowledge of the environment, history and regaled us with stories of his past. He is a gem!

This was a lovely day. The hike is very easy, more of a natural walk but through a lovely trail with some pretty views. The float was pretty and relaxing.

Tomas was a great guide and made our trip so enjoyable. Beautiful views. So easy to get from the cruise ship!

This was a fabulous excursion. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and we got to see a bunch of eagles and their nests. The hike was very easy and pleasurable, and the float was just perfect!

This was a perfect outing for my family including 9 year old twins. It was a wonderful day. Beautiful and informative. Bob and Zoe were fantastic.

This shore excursion was truly one of the highlights of our Alaska cruise. Our guide, Owen was so knowledgeable. He shared lots of relevant and interesting information with us about what we were seeing. I especially appreciated that he offered to take a few group photos of our family enjoying this adventure. Our 9 and 12 year old grandsons enjoyed this adventure as much as we did. 5 stars are in order for a tour very well delivered.

Wonderful day and our guide Kate was so amazing. If you go ask for her.

Our guide Joe was great, informative and relax pace, just what we needed off the ship. We saw some beautiful scenery and enjoyed a relaxing raft trip.

An awesome experience on this excursion. Owen had excellent knowledge of the area, wildlife, and plants. We walked a beautiful rainforest trail that was one of the highlights of our trip and the float down the river was a big bonus. Highly recommend!

I loved the float down the river. I would have liked more hiking in the hiking part. Joe was fantastic!

Our tour was relaxing, fun and informative. Tomas was our guide and we all laughed a lot. On the hike we saw beautiful wildflowers, a mama bear crossed the road in front of us with her cubs and we learned a lot about the town of Dyea. The float back was great. Booking the tour was easy and once we were off our cruise ship, our tour guide was on time and friendly. Correspondence was always prompt. Thank you!

This excursion was pretty good, a bit more educational about plants and trees than I would have been interested in, but it was still a pretty good time. The people were all very nice and also very helpful.

Thomas was a fabulous guide. During our hike we learnt about bears and their tracks, the trees and even about mushrooms that grow in the North. It was wonderful!

This was definitely the highlight of our trip! Owen was a wonderful guide! He was very knowledgeable and very kind. The hike was beautiful and the float down the river was peaceful and relaxing. Thank you for creating a wonderful experience for our family, including our kids!!

We enjoyed the hike and float excursion very much. Owen was an excellent guide, He was very knowledgeable, shared stories and history and made sure we were safe throughout the hike and float. Highly recommend to those visiting Skagway.

GREAT ADVENTURE; HIKE WAS ENJOYABLE AND THE FLOAT WAS SCENIC AND RELAXING. THE GUIDES WERE AWESOME!!! LEARNED TO LIKE THE LICHEN!!

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.

Unique but great guide.

Hike was great, float a little boring. Owen was a great guide

Owen did a great job giving us historical and botanical facts along our hike. He was a fantastic guide. We thoroughly enjoyed this excursion.

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.

Our tour guide was awesome.

OUR tour guide SAM was excellent! I would highly recommend him! very caring, knowable and pleasant

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!

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.

AMAZING!! Our guide (Sam) was wonderful and very knowledgeable about Alaska, local wildlife and forest growth. This excursion was the highlight of my trip.

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.

Ryan was an amazing tour guide. He shared a lot of knowledge with us. We all really enjoyed it.

Excellent tour. Ryan paced the hike perfectly for the group, and shared his knowledge of the area. Float was pleasant. Back at the kiosk Lisa offered to text me about the lights, now that was above and beyond. Thanks all

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!

Awesome service. Knowledge of the providers was great.

We had a wonderful guide on this excursion. We really enjoyed our time on Skagway. I would highly recommend this excursion.

Beautiful hike and we loved the float!

The hike was more rugged than I expected but the area peaceful and beautiful. Brooke gave us wonderful information about the rain forest the trees the relationship between the water and the birds the fish. She was most helpful and informative.

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.

The hike and float was great! Such a beautiful place! Joe, our guide, did a great job! He was friendly, very informative, and patient with our group.

Great time and wonderful guide!!

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!

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!

Ryan did a great job guiding us on this tour. Everything was as described, and it met our expectations.

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.

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.

Our guide was very informative, fun and the trip was fantastic

Bob was a great guide! Fun and informative

The scenery was incredible and our guide was great.

awesome hike, friendly and interesting guide taught us much about plants and animals; wonderful float down the river where we saw river otter and bald eagles. wish we could have done this all day. simply fantastic!

Amazing guide and awesome experience with everything ran very professional.

Bryan was great. He is gentle, knowledgeable and let us take our time as well as explained all our questions.

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.

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.

Loved walk and raft. Very knowledgeable guide. Great scenery.thank you

The hike was fun and float was relaxing.

Our guide was awesome! Knowledgeable and friendly...we had a great time. I would recommend this excursion for anyone who wants to get out and explore a bit. Top notch!!!

Great hike !!! We had an excellent guide Sam who was very kind and informative

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.
