carontori Posted September 28, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2006 My daughter and I are hoping to snorkel in Alaska, We have been told there is a tour available through the cruise ship and wetsuits are supplied. Has anyone done this? Are we crazy or is this worth doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie11 Posted September 29, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2006 It's out of Ketchikan and is very popular. Haven't done it myself but have been scuba diving in Alaska - it's awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaswhales Posted September 29, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Oh my, I just wrote a very long post, and it is gone!!!! I will just say that I did the Mountain Point Snorkeling tour in Ketchikan while there in June this year, and LOVED it. I tell everyone about it. It was the coolest thing I did. Please check out my photos of it on my website below. I had a disposable underwater camera, and it was cloudy, so some are not as clear as I would have liked. I stayed nice and warm with the wetsuit on. I was concerned about that. I almost cancelled that morning due to the rain and how cold it was (54 degrees f) but when we got to the water, it wasn't raining and was great. They take a picture for you ($10 if you want it) and I bought a cool "Snorkel Alaska" T-shirt with a seal on it with a snorkel mask on. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, as I can go on and on about it or anything else about Alaska for that matter!!!!:) http://photos.yahoo.com/evilhousekeeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyriecat Posted September 29, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I saw a snorkel tour out of Sitka on the RC excursions list. I couldn't talk hubby into trying it so we went whale watching instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSloan Posted September 29, 2006 #7 Share Posted September 29, 2006 We did the Mountain Point tour as well a couple of years ago. The wet suits keep you pretty warm in the water. It's well worth it... Here are some photos of our experience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
