My husband and I were on a Norwegian Cruise and scheduled this excursion through them. It was well worth it! Bob was our tour guide and was a wealth of knowledge. He led us on a 2 mile hike through the beautiful rainforest, then got us safely down the river. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and wouldn't hesitate to rebook this tour.

We did the Bike, Hike and Float Tour through Carnival Cruise Lines. The bike tour was through a different company (SeaScope maybe?) Anyhow, the Bike tour was fantastic. Once we finished that, we met up with Bob and Zoe for our hike. A storm took out the bridge on the Chilkoot trail, so we didn't get the 2 mile hike that was advertised. We hiked in about half a mile and then back out. Bob is an experienced guide and has a wealth of knowledge about flora, birds, animals, trees, glaciers and the river in this area. My husband said "Bob has probably forgotten more than I'll ever know about Alaska.". The Chilkoot trail is a gorgeous trail and the river float is peaceful and scenic. We had plenty of opportunities to take pictures along the way. The company provides rainboots and lifejackets, water and granola bars. If you've never done the tour, it's a great one to pick.

Travelled through Celebrity Cruise and booked directly with Trip Advisor. Transport was easy and stress free. Pickup was right where the shuttle provided by the cruise ship dropped off passengers when arriving at Skagway Port.
Very scenic drive to the river but it was a little long. Once at the river, staff provided boots and helped us onto rafts where we enjoyed a picturesque and calm ride. We brought our camera but it was a little bit of a nuisance to use while in the raft. I’d recommend using your cell phone for pictures and bring a pair binoculars for long distance viewing. We also stopped at a few viewing areas on the drive to the river for photo opportunities
All in all, one of the best excursions of the trip and I highly recommend

Bob was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and a true expert on raft navigation, history of the river and the area, the wildlife. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge on how glaciers affects the landscape. He made the raft trip exciting and fun, even in a rainy dreary day. It was one of our favorite excursions we had in our 11 night cruise, well worth the money. We saw so many bald eagles. And one even flew right in front of our raft. That was a great trip!

Beautiful, peaceful and informative float trip. Knowledgeable and very competent guide. The wildlife stayed out of sight. I learned a lot about the ecology of the area. We kept our feet dry in big rubber boots.

Met by friendly staff and taken to the river. Plenty of history and local knowledge from the guide. All staff were really friendly and this was a very relaxing way of seeing the scenery of Alaska. I would definitely recommend this trip.

We walked into the Skagway Float Tours office and booked a same-day excursion, the hike and float tour with Bob. He was a wonderful guide with tons of knowledge about the area, as well as some very cool life stories! It’s obvious he loves what he does :) This experience was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend doing this while in Skagway

This experience was lead by Bob who is a local legend. Bob had a wealth of local knowledge and a lifetime of personal experiences that kept our group enthralled.
