Ocean Raft Wildlife Adventure

[janone73]

Thinking of doing this excursion in Skagway in September.  Any thoughts of the best time of day, 10 AM, 12:30 PM or 3 PM?

I'm leaning towards 12:30. 

 

Thanks in advance

We booked this.  I'm interested in responses also.  We actually picked the first timeslot of the day.  I was thinking it would leave us with more time to explore more of Skagway.  Plus it may mean a dry floatation suit.  I have no idea how wet they really get.  Afterwards, we are planning to get lunch and then go walk the trail  to the Lower Reid Falls.

I’ve done this several times, and maybe it was just coincidence, but it seemed the mornings were less windy and less likely to be canceled.  

Your flotation suit gets a little wet from the spray, but you are covered head to toe, including goggles, so you don’t feel cold or wet.

 It’s really a fun tour.  The seats in the front get the most motion.  I leave those seats to the more adventurous.  I sit at the back and feel the speed, but much less bouncing around.

 They stop quite a few times to let everyone get pictures and see the waterfalls and the seals.  They added a naturalist since I went the first time, and she is very interesting.
