Exciting, exhilarating and educational...Capt. Jennifer and Naturalist Alyssa took us up close to seals, eagles and waterfalls. They spin the raft in the clear, cold Alaskan waters and give you a ride worth every penny. They're pleasant, funny and this is a must do.

This was the best thing we did on our entire cruise to Alaska. Captain Jen made sure to give us a ride that was a mixture of zipping along the shoreline, doing a few donuts, and calmly drifting into coves. We were able to get right up on plenty of waterfalls, and enjoy seals, eagles, and birds. Captain Alyssa’s passion for the wildlife made it impossible not to appreciate everything we saw. She was so knowledgeable and could answer any questions we had. The highlight was seeing a humpback whale just feet away from our boat. If you have a chance to do this excursion, you really should.

Seriously wonderful fun! This was by far the best part of our Alaska cruise (on the Norwegian Spirit). Great wildlife viewing -seals and eagles and whales - OH MY! Beautiful waterfalls. The captain gave us some thrills with the speed and the naturalist was friendly and informative. The survival suit was a hoot (seriously - I want one!) and the 2 hours just flew by. I am 75 and would do it again in a minute!

This was the best excursion we did in Alaska. It was so much fun and we saw so much wildlife. The zodiac boat can get much closer to the shore than a traditional boat. We also enjoyed when they went fast and took lots of turns zipping around the water. Our guides were knowledgeable, helpful and polite. 10 out of 10 recommend!

We had the pleasure of spending 2 hours speeding up and down the Lynn Canal with Jen as our boat captain and Alyssa as our naturalist. With about 20 other vacationers we were treated to views of harbor seals, bald eagles, waterfalls and the extreme natural beauty of this southern Alaska wonder. Alyssa was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the region and answered everyone's questions with clear and understandable responses. This was a fun and educational excursion and IS NOT TO BE MISSED if you find yourself in Skagway, Alaska.

This was a very memorable visit and boat trip. They outfit you in a full body suit, which also acts as a life preserver. Which we didn’t have to use!
Wonderful crew. Both the skipper of the boat and tour guide super nice folks and along with seeing eagles and seals we did some fun 360 spins on the water!
Best of all on the way back to Skagway we saw a whale! Surfaced twice. Highly recommend this company for your travels in the Skagway area.

My wife and I enjoy high speed boats. This one was very similar to the Screaming Eagle in St. Thomas and Codzilla in Boston. It's a high-speed boat that seats a couple of dozen people, and you have to sit straddling a saddle like a horse. Definitely not for overweight or old people. It's a nice boat ride up the Lynn Canal (actually misnamed, it's a fjord). We saw a couple of eagles and some otters, but don't expect to see much (you're not going to see whales, bears, or moose). Staff was great.

The staff were kind and knowledgeable. We got close to the shore and saw eagles, an eagle nest, seals, and several waterfalls. The scenery was amazing.
I didn't expect though people yeehawing and flailing their arms obstructing the views and generally ruining the experience. I expect a Zodiac to be fast and jumpy, I have done it several times before, but the high speed turns were totally unnecessary and probably even unsafe when your hands get wet from the rain and you could loose your grip on the handle. If I wanted the thrills of a roller coaster I would go to a closer amusement park, and not so far away to Alaska where the nature and breathtaking views are all you need.

My husband and I wanted to try a new adventure and chose to do this. What a blast! It was raining the day of our adventure but who cared because we were dressed extremely warm and it didn't interfer with anything. Braydon was our Captain and Ashley was the naturalist. They made the trip both fun and interesting. We were fortunate to see some sheep and plenty of eagles. I highly recommend this trip.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Worth the investment for a half day activity! Easy meet-up and transit, amazing gear provided for warmth and comfortable seating in high speed boat. We felt safe at all times and enjoyed the excitement of high speed travel and turns. We spotted harbor seals, eagles and waterfalls. The captain and naturist were knowledgeable and made the trip enjoyable, allowing for pic oops throughout the trip. Job well done, ORA!

My husband does get motion sickness but loves speed....just not sure if he should go on this since I read something about hairpin turns, etc. I think he'll be ok as long as it's not a constant turn after turn. Please give me your thoughts. Thanks.
