This was a great tour! Our tour guide Joe was funny and full of great stories. We learned a lot about the wildlife and ecology of the area. He gave us plenty of time to hike around the forest. The river float was amazing too. The scenery was spectacular and our family had the best time. Highly recommend!

This was not just a highlight of our trip, but a transcendant experience. Our guide, Joe, was chill, knowledgeable, and incredibly skilled on the river. He led us through the hike at just the right pace, stopping in a meadow of such sublime beauty and tranquility that I will remember it always as one of life's perfect moments. The float section of the trip was equally stellar. Floating through glacially cold water, guided by Joe's seemingly effortless navigation, the silence, the views, and the tranquility renewed our spirits and soothed our souls. I cannot sufficiently recommend this excursion. Thank you, Joe, for one of my life's perfect moments.

Went on this excursion solo, and was placed with a family of 5 - had a great time. Owen was a very informative guide - loved hearing about the history of the area as well the flora and fauna during the trek. The forest did have a bit of "stair" climbing and lots of roots/rocks to maneuver over, the trekking pole that was offered did come in handy at times. No bear sightings but did see ground squirrels and bald eagles. The glacial river that we cruised down was smooth and relaxing. Definitely recommend and bonus was able to support a local business.

This trip totally exceeded our expectations. We spent a fascinating morning, exploring the area of Dyea, just a short drive away from Skagway. Traveling with only one other family made this a very personal, small group experience, which was lovely. Top marks to our guide, Owen, for providing us with an in depth insight into this amazing place. We learned about the natural environment, the flora and fauna of the Tongass rainforest, and the prominent part that Dyea played in the Klondike Gold Rush. The stunning beauty of the landscape, and the peace of the forest were a joy to experience. Owen explained that the route for our hike had been changed this season, due to flood damage last year, on the original trail. This resulted in an easy, level, walk around the forest, rather than a more challenging hike, which was fine with us. Our float back down the river was the perfect way to end our trip, soaking up the incredible scenery, and watching the wildlife, including the majestic bald eagles. Fabulous. Thank you, Owen, for sharing your love of this very special place with us.

The hike was a moderate hike. Unfortunately we, couldn't go all the way. But our intrepid leader, Bob, was a wonderful guide and storyteller. He kept us engaged with his knowledge of the environment, history and regaled us with stories of his past. He is a gem!
