Reviews
Danny, our guide, was fantastic. He was not only friendly but also had a wealth of knowledge about the region. Additionally, he ensured our safety throughout the tour. I highly recommend this experience to everyone.
Our time on the Scenic River Float Tour in Skagway was fantastic. This trip perfectly combined tranquil nature with engaging narratives, greatly enhanced by our excellent guides, Will and Rachel. From our first encounter, both Will and Rachel were welcoming, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, ensuring we felt safe while sharing fascinating insights about the local history, wildlife, and scenery. Their enthusiasm for the area was evident, and their friendly demeanor made the entire experience even better. Drifting down the river was serene and beautiful, surrounded by mountains and forests. While it’s not a white-water adventure, that calmness is precisely what we appreciated. It was a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the Alaskan wilderness from a distinctive viewpoint. If you seek a soothing and unforgettable way to experience Skagway's natural beauty, I highly recommend this tour. If you get Will and Rachel as your guides, you're in for a special experience.
Despite the rain and wind, the float trip continued as planned, and our guide Danny provided excellent insights about the area. We spotted several eagles! Overall, it was a fantastic experience.
The scenery was stunning, and both the guide and staff provided exceptional service. They also offered great suggestions for exploring Skagway after our float trip. I would definitely do this again! Thank you, Owen, Erin, and all the staff for this incredible experience. Kody and Rick.
The experience is a relaxing drift where the only effort needed is to sit and hold onto the raft's side. Owen, our guide, was very informative, sharing insights about the local environment, plant life, weather, living costs, and a bit about his personal history.
One of the best parts of our trip to Alaska. Our guide was lovely and led us down the river in a very serene setting. It was a calming experience.
The float tour was an incredible experience. Our guide Owen was exceptionally knowledgeable and made it enjoyable. We spotted harbor seals, an otter, and bald eagles. With two young kids, we felt very safe, and we gained a lot of insight into nature and Skagway. The views along the river were stunning.
The float was beautiful and even though we only saw a few bald eagles and not many other animals, we had a great time. The tour guides were very engaging.
The crew at Skagway Float Tours provided an exceptional experience. Our guide, Danny, was excellent and his local knowledge enriched the stories and history shared. I highly recommend this tour.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this float tour and will definitely recommend it to a friend. Our guide Danny was knowledgeable, approachable, humorous, and made the experience even better.
