More than Waterfalls - Phenomenal! Luke is a wealth of knowledge. Fun local antidotes and great info about the wildlife, landscape and water. This was so much more than a waterfall tour. Eagles, goats, seals, sea lions and did I say EAGLES. Don’t go on one of the crowded cruise tours. So this!!

Beautiful Waterfalls - This was an amazing tour! Luke was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and experienced! Showed us some amazing sights. Unfortunately there was no wildlife that we saw, we did see bald eagles and a nest. Luke also took us into a smaller channel to see a Glacier!

This was a great... - This was a great excursion! It was a very small group tour which was fantastic. We saw many beautiful waterfalls and learned about the area. After a busy week on the cruise, this was a relaxing tour seeing many beautiful areas of Skagway. Highly recommend.

Great Alaskan Experience - It was somewhat of a rainy day, but that didn't stop Luke and I from venturing out. It only added to the experience. It was a great tour, and Luke was very informative about not only the falls, but the history, the fishing, and daily activities of the region.
