Highlights
  • Port of Skagway - Embark on an adventure boat ride through the Lynn Canal, where we navigate close to the shoreline, uncovering hidden coves, waterfalls, rocky beaches, wildlife, and much more!

During this exciting two-hour journey, your captain will make several stops for photo opportunities and wildlife observations. At times, they will shut off the engines, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of our Southeast Alaskan wilderness.

This personal thrill-ride is crafted to take you between mountain and ocean in our custom-built ribs. Board a raft designed similarly to the boats used by the US Coast Guard and Navy Seals for search and rescue missions. With its deep hull and surrounding inflatable tubes, our boats ensure a comfortable ride in any ocean condition.

You’ll sit on our specially designed, shock-absorbing seats as we speed past the steep granite walls of North America’s only fjord.

Don’t hesitate, book now! - Absolutely our favorite experience during our Alaskan cruise. It’s great for families with older kids. Stunning landscape, thrilling ride and a chance to feel like you saw a side of Alaska that not many see. Captain Ashley and Angie were awesome guides. We saw seals, eagles and amazing waterfalls. The jumpsuits they gave us kept us warm and dry.

AMAZING TOUR!! - Don't hesitate! This tour was so much fun! We saw tons of waterfalls, sea lions and bald eages. Captain Jenn and Naturalist Shed were so knowledgeable! They made the tour one of my top things to do in Alaska! The orange jumpsuits also made the trip warm and comfortable! Don't miss it!

Perfect experience for entire family! - The staff are so nice! We took our 70 year old mother along and she had a blast! I was worried about the “doughnuts” and “high speed” for her but it wasn’t too intense and none of us ever felt unsafe. They have one bench seat and she rode there and had an amazing time! Rachel and Chris were awesome! We saw so many seals and eagles and were so close to the waterfalls you could feel a slight spray on your face. We had all sizes in our group (and my hubby is a big man!) and all the suits fit and were actually comfortable. No need to bring a jacket. I would give this excursion and the staff 100 stars if possible. The entire experience was prefect! Thank you for an experience my family will always cherish. Will book this again next visit!

Amazing Experience!!! - Great experience from beginning to end. Everyone was super helpful and very informative. Guides took excellent care of everything ... just show up and go have fun with this great group! It was easily the best shore excursion we did. Even if there is no wildlife (sometimes they like to hid) it's a blast to cruise on the ocean.

Refreshing and memorable! - This was the highlight of our trip! The cruise ports are pretty touristy, but this excursion gets you away from that and really lets you experience the beauty of Alaska’s coast. We enjoyed the fast paced boat ride with beautiful cool weather. We saw beautiful waterfalls, many bald eagles, and even a bear!

WILDLIFE WONDER & OCEAN RAFT RIDE ...,OH WHAT A THRILL - We're blessed to be onboard again with Ocean Raft. Right from Reservations with Heather and our Team, Check in with Breanna, Capt Beven and Naturalist Shane. Much colder than last time and grateful for our bright orange survival suits. We felt right at home. They Explained all the safety regs then onto the tour. I thought the straddle seat would be uncomfortable but I was wrong great leverage and easy to maintain position. Capt Beven knew exactly where to go and we were blessed to see many eagles and waterfalls in the multiple locations. Plus Harbor seals. Everyone remains seated while the boat quickly moves to different locations, but Beven brings it to a stop so everyone can stand up and move around for photo ops. Shane knows so much about the wildlife and horticulture It's so exciting to see wildlife in their natural environment. The added bonus to this tour is the fast moving donut twirling maneuvers Capt Beven accomplished and adrenaline rush you get is awesome We would highly recommend taking a tour with this fabulous team. Kudos to you all until we meet again.

They Delivered What They Advertised - Ofttimes vendors overstate and underdeliver what they advertise. Ocean Raft Adventures is not one of them--they delivered what they said and then some!!! Thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hour high speed Zodiac adventure on the scenic fjord including some wildlife sightings (2 large harbor seal colonies and multiple bald eagle sightings). But the real fun is the ride and Capt. Jen was the perfect helmsman--making sure you experience the periodic adrenalin rush coupled with taking in the sheer beauty of the fjord. It was a memorable time.
