I know we did the Bering Sea crab fishermens tour in Ketchikan and Pilots Choice in Juneau and love them both, best sites we have every seen. Here are some pics from both. Best I have been on as of yet, I would give these 2 excursions A+++ just for the pics I got.

Thank you so much, I am no pro for sure but I try my best, I could post a ton more but do not want to take over the thread with pics of the best place to see for us so far. The excursions were unreal in Alaska and it is hands down the best trip we have been on so far. I can post more if the OP wants me to but this is not my thread.

I am sure people want yo see them, I put mine on a trip report thread. Also a blog.

Tell me what you think about these excursions. We are down to these at each port:
Juneau-Mendenhall Float trip and Mendenhall Glacier an Whale Quest.

Ketchikan-This gets confusing... Hubby and older daughter will do Bear Creek Zipline and younger daughter and I will do Annette Island Cultural Celebration. Then we will all do the lumberjack show.

Skagway- Glacier Lake Kayak and White Pass Rail.

Check out TripAdvisor- I was initially considering the Mendenhall Float Trip, and if I recall correctly, the reviews weren't that good. But this was a year ago, so things may have changed.

Wonderful thread!! Thanks for all the great info!!

I did a search and couldn't find anything but has anyone done the Alaskan Fish Camp and Wilderness Dinner in Ketchican? thanks

 

[AZMermaid]

We did one called wilderness explorer and crab feast, is that the same one? This was solid, not amazing but not bad. The crabs they pulled up were in a small pot, not deadliest catch like we expected. But we all got to hold a crab which was cool. The scenery was gorgeous and the crab dinner was yummy!

 

[pequele]

No this is one that you go out fishing for a few hours then go to a camp for the meal.

We did the sled dog camp. I was just talking about it this morning, saying it was the highlight of our trip, especially the puppies!

On two trips we've done:

Juneau - Orca Enterprises twice (http://www.orcaenterprises.com/), Pilot's Choice - 2 Glacier Landings (http://www.temscoair.com/juneau_tours.php), Mt. Roberts Tramway(on our own)

Skagway - Dog Sledding (http://www.temscoair.com/skagway.php), rented a car from Avis and drove to Emerald Lake using Murray's Guide to the South Klondike Highway (http://www.murraysguide.com/)

Ketchikan - Misty Fjords Flightseeing and Anan Creek Bear Viewing (both with http://www.islandwings.com/)

Sitka - all on our own - Alaska Rator Center (http://www.alaskaraptor.org/SITE/index.html), Totem Poles National Park (http://www.alaskaraptor.org/SITE/index.html), St. Michael Russian Church (http://oca.org/parishes/oca-ak-sitsmk), and amazing crab lunch (just can't remember where!)

LOVED everything we did!

This was an amazing trip! With my husband and 7 year old.

Skagway - booked the helicopter/glacier/dog sled excursion on our own. I wanted to do it early in the trip since this is the most often cancelled excursion (due to weather) but the one that would be most meaningful to us all. The place we had to go was literally next to the ship. Walked over -- took 2 minutes. Got all the gear and within minutes was in a helicopter. Aside from my wedding, this was the best experience of my life! We had an amazing time. Not the least of which was that except for the people training the dogs, it's just you and the 3 other people who were on your helicopter. You are virtually alone on a glacier in the middle of nowhere. Awesome! The dogs were amazing. Each group goes on a sled -- just your family. My son led the team the entire time. In addition to it being a singularly amazing experience, we have fab pictures of us with the puppies!

Juneau - we didn't plan anything (in case we needed to reschedule the helicopter/dog sled) and took the tram. Great views. But when I have spent days with thousands of people, when we dock I want to get off and be far from crowds.

Ketchikan - thru Disney, we did a canoeing trip. My only complaint about DCL excursions are that there are more people than I'd like, but this was a fabulous excursion. We were in the middle of nowhere, in a state or national park, canoeing through the pristine water. Really, really beautiful. Another favorite experience.

Have fun!
