Ocean Raft Adventure Icy Straight or Skagway

[realnice46]

These seem to be very similar trips . I would like to know which one might be the better choice if anyone has taken one or both of these.

I rafted Ketchikan and Haines (Skagway).  Based on what I know, I would do it in ISP, because there is much less civilization in the area and there are less other things to do.  Skagway is usually about going deeper inland, toward the Yukon.

Oceanraft Skagway is completely different from the rafting trip in Skagway.

Oceanraft is a jetboat down the Lynn Canal

I’ve done it maybe five times.  Loved it.  The Chilkoot Hike and Rafting is also nice, but a much slower pace.

I’ve also done the Oceanraft in Sitka, ( called Volcano Coast rafting or similar).  
Sit on the last row next to the captain for a less bouncy ride.

The raft trip in Haines involves a jet boat from Skagway to Haines as part of the trip.   Although that is probably the difference between a ferry boat and a tour boat.
