    Our tour guide Keenan. Sneaky selfie!
    Lana Y.

    This was our favorite excursion by FAR!!!! It was nice to have a small group and to get out farther away from the cruis ship and see the sights. We had a long and awesome hike through the forest. It was more ups and downs and rougher terrain than I was expecting but a good surprise...ha ha!! Keenan didnt talk our ear off, he let us enjoy the sights and told us the history of things when we drove past them. If we ever take another cruise anywhere I need to ask if Keenan is a guide cause he travels around a lot. The raft "ride" that we went on was very chill and we got to enjoy the beautiful views. The transportation to and form places was great and safe. Thanks Keenan!

    On the way to the Chilkoot Trail!

    We (myself and 8 family/friends I was on a Princess Cruise with) did the Chilkoot Trail Hike & Float Trip, and love, love, LOVED it! It was awesome that it was a small group, so it was just us the whole time. Kane was an awesome tour guide and really tailored the trip to us on the fly. The drive to the trail was gorgeous. He pulled over so we could take a picture, and he told us some history along the way. I wasn't expecting the hike up & down to be as intense as it was (I mean, we were on cruise with most 50+ year olds), but it was very doable if you're used to hiking. Of course the flat terrain was easy. Kane was honest about what he knew and didn't know, and helped us pick some berries to eat while we hiked. The group I was with is normally pretty active so the hike didn't take us long so he was able to show us a beaver dam too. The float trip was really just that: a float trip. There was no white water whatsoever and he did all of the steering, but you're still outfitted with boots & a life vest, and he gave us a safety talk about the raft (he gave us one before hiking too). Again because we were making good time, Kane beached us so he could talk about the surroundings. At the end of the tour they gave us a cookie, water, and a warm beverage. Then he drove us back to town, offering to drop us off wherever we wanted to go next.

    This was my favorite excursion for Alaska thtough Carnival Cruise Lines. Josh and John were very informative both on kayaking, safety, wildlife facts, and naturists details. They have a great demeanor and both have an awesome sense of humour. There were only four of us out on the mirror looking lake that day. The smaller party made it much more fun and it felt as though we were just ganging out with a bunch of friends out on the lake. I loved learning about the area and they have some really great stories!! Would love to go back someday. Thanks Josh and John!!

    Our female guide and raft rower (?) was safe, conscientious, and more than able to row and steer our raft.

    Alaska X - The puppies were so cute but seemed a little young and very scared

    This is just one of the tours you can do…read more We had a great time. The driver was very informative about the area. We learned a lot that we didn't know. This is a good tour company.

    We did the Sled Dog Adventure in Skagway and had a great time. The dogs and puppies were super…read morecute. The dogs seemed to be in good condition, but there was some concern about their well-being in our group. Our guide was a bit avoidant with some of her answers about the dogs, such as how many puppies they have a year, what the owners do with the puppies that don't make it as sled dogs, and what happens to the sled dogs when they retire. If we had received solid answers to some of these questions, we would've felt a little better. We also drove past the living quarters of the dogs and they appeared to be chained up to individual dog houses. I know these dogs aren't "sleep on the couch at home" type of dogs, but it still made me a little curious. Some of the dogs also seemed pretty skinny. I could easily see the ribs and hip bones of some of the dogs. They did seem genuinely excited to run, so I'm hoping that they are well taken care of and I am just being extremely cautious. We also didn't have to wash our hands before handling the puppies after touching all of the other sled dogs. We weren't allowed to set the puppies on the ground because they weren't up to date on their shots (makes sense), but we were able to handle them without washing our hands first? Seemed odd. They also gave no guidance on how to hold the puppies and I saw some other guests handling them in less-than-desired ways. Our puppy was also shaking violently and crying after we held her for a few min. I understand wanting to socialize the puppies, but the younger puppies we interacted with (pictured) seemed like they were too young.

    You could tell our tour guide Noah was a local. He was hilarious, extroverted and very friendly. We…read moreenjoyed his commentary on the whole drive out to Yukon. He was quick and efficient in taking photos for everyone on the bus at each of the stops. We were a bit cautious of his driving. I understand he is quite familiar with this drive, but given the weather and often poor visibility we had on the drive, and the size of the bus, he seemed to be driving a bit fast, even passing other buses on the drive. Our tour stopped at the Yukon sign where we actually had some clear skies we could see the mountains in the background. On our return, we stopped at a rural dog sled training camp. We visited the puppies and got to play with them. We were here for almost 2 hours. It felt like our time here was never ending. It would've been nice if the owner came over to say "hi" and talk a bit about dog sledding and the competitions she competes in. Some in our tour group paid extra to take a dog sled ride which was basically the dogs hooked up to a large golf cart with everyone piled into the cart. Not impressive, glad we didn't do it. But we had to wait around for those that did pay for that extra feature to get their ride so we were there for almost 2 hours. It felt like our time here was never ending. To sum up our tour, we spent 4 hours in a bus driving through the Yukon range and seeing the puppies. Not sure if we would do this again if we return.

    Did the bus tour with Maria Beyond excellent…read moreWould do it again / recommend to anyone looking for a great way to see some incredible country and have a guide that can provide entertaining info and stories Thx Maria!!
