I've read every single post on the Alaska Cruise Excursion thread and I've followed eandesmom's fabulous trip report! After all this, I think I have a plan, but would really appreciate input from eandesmom, all other experienced Alaskan cruisers or anyone in a similar situation!
We have three very active boys - at the time of travel in August, they will be 5, 12 and 13. We thought about separating for at least one day, but we'd prefer to stick together. This makes it tough to plan active excursions. Ziplining, kayaking and biking would be perfect for our family, but our youngest is only five years old and doesn't meet age requirements for many excursions.
So here's our current plan for the August 27 Alaskan cruise:
Skagway: Takshanuk Mountain Trail 4x4
Juneau: Entirely stuck - need suggestions!!! Would like to keep this to about $100 per person, but willing to go higher if we found the right excursion. (I should mention that even though we travel frequently, my husband and I are really afraid of flying in small planes or helicopters.)
Ketchikan: Rain Forest Canoe Adventure and Nature Trail
I know the Takshanuk is highly rated and the Rain Forest Canoe excursion seems like a good fit, but:
1) We're really stuck for a Juneau excursion that is active, keeps us all together and is appropriate for our 5-year-old; and
2) We're concerned about availability. Do we have a good chance of getting the Takshanuk and Rain Forest Canoe excursions as silver Castaway members booking as soon as the window opens?
Thanks so much!
