We had great time. Brandon and Elisa are great. We saw mountain goats, bald eagles and learnt a lot about Skagway. It was really a fun tour.

This sailing excursion was the highlight of our cruise to Alaska. Brendan was so friendly, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. His personality truly made you feel at ease about sailing around with a stranger for 2.5 hours. His hospitality was immediate as he warmly greeted us at the dock and had locally baked chocolate croissants on a tray waiting for us on board. Coffee and tea were also available. Throughout the tour, Brendan pointed out waterfalls, wildlife and shared facts and history about Skagway. We were truly engaged and will remember this experience - highly recommend and will rebook next time we re in Alaska!
