Alaska Questions

[ladyofthetramp]

Did Alaska on the wonder this past August and you’ve gotten a lot of good advice so far but if I could go back in time and change one thing about my trip it would be to pack rain PANTS!

yes, yes, yes. If you don't need them, great. But if you do... Well, you know!

what about the non helicopter ones?

In Skagway we rented a car with green jeep tours and drove up to the Yukon. We stopped at https://tagishlakekennel.com/tutshi-sled-dog-summer-tours/ and had a nice time. We got a talk about how sledding works, a ride in a cart behind the dogs* and as much time visiting the dogs as we wanted.

(We also did all the other sightseeing.)

**the cart rides are motorized as they are training runs for the dogs who can't really pull much weight yet. They are at a set speed which is what they want the dogs to learn to run/pull at.

We did Alaska in 2023 are looking forward to going again in 2026.

I agree with those who said don't do a whale watch cruise. We did one and saw practically nothing. Saw more from our Veranda. Don't forget to bring bonoculars.

We regret not doing the tour boat excursion, that takes you close to the glacier. Will definetly be doing that on our next cruise
