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.

Highly Recommend - I highly recommend this excursion. From start to finish it was the best. All the staff were kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. The ride was fast, fun, and educational. There was a naturalist on board to give interesting facts and answer all our questions. I loved how they allowed people to change seats at mid point so we could experience different view points. The suits were well kept and clean. We saw eagles, seals, and so many gorgeous waterfalls. I would definitely do this again!

Ocean Raft Alaska earned a Gold Medal - Ocean Raft Alaska deserve a 10/10. The tour operator contacted me beforehand with a change in time which still fit with our itinerary. We had very specific directions on where to meet. The adventure did not disappoint with Alyssa & Bevin. They did an extraordinary job making us feel safe and stay warm. They also gave everyone plenty of opportunities to move around the boat and get some great photos. Good job ladies!!!

Thrill ride with friends and nature - The ride was fun and not too cold or too rough. Actually a few of us said later that we wished they would’ve done more donuts and turns. We did see Harbour seals, bald eagles, water falls, etc. The tour guides and captain were super informative and open to questions. They love their jobs.

An Exhilarating Boat Ride In Heaven - An amazing experience right from the start. Tons of great help talking to staff on the phone to book and get directions. Everyone working there was fun, helpful and clearly loved their jobs and got us suited up fast in super cozy, weatherproof safety suits. Then we were all out on the water for an exhilarating ride. Captain Jen made it exciting while always safe feeling. I can’t remember our guide’s name, but he made it super informative while being entertaining and real. We had lots of laughs while learning great information about the harbor seals, eagles and other sights. I just loved being immersed in the beauty of the mountains, the fjord, and all the waterfalls, eagles and immense nature all around us. When the boat was racing through the cool clean air, and light rain was splashing across my face, I just breathed deeply and felt like I was immersed in heaven.
