Additional Information

Hovercrafts are an incredibly unique mode of transportation and an engineering marvel that are amphibious. No other tour can provide what we can do with this vessel.

Very few individuals have ridden on a vessel that literally floats on a 20” pocket of air that makes beach landings from a marine environment.

This 24’ x 11’ vessel is enclosed with sliding windows and a “Back to the Future” DeLorean-styled hatch door with plenty of cabin space.

Tours are kept to 6 people max to be more personable with the captain and crew giving the tours.

The tour will never be the same 2x! Explore the braided glacial outwash planes while searching for wildlife and adventure!

The Scenery is incredibly breathtaking with narrations about glaciology, geomorphology, and local ecology.

Great time. - Jared was a great guide. He was very kind and pleasant to our 3 children who we took on the tour. We saw many eagles and towards the end of the trip we saw a bear which was the most amazing thing. Jared was great and turned us around so we can get better views.

Best Alaskan Cruise - This was the best excursion we took while on our Alaskan cruise. It was fun doing a few donuts at the beginning and end of the tour. We then went along the coast hunting for eagles and we weren’t disappointed. The best part of the tour was riding up onto the beach and being able to wander around getting a beautiful view of a meadow and waterfall. The scenery was very different than any we have seen on our other excursions. Very few Alaskan tours let you actually get out of the craft to take a closer look at things. The scenery was beautiful. The Owner/Captain allowed us to take our time. He was very interesting and knowledgeable about the area and allowed us to ask as many questions as we wanted. He had an easy way about him that made you feel more like you were just spending time with friends. There was plenty of time to take some beautiful photos. Then we boarded the craft again and went up the river. We were surprised to see two eagles sitting on a log and because of the type of craft we were in, the Captain was able to get around to the front and get even better up close pictures. The tour was a little short for the cost, I think 2 hours would have been better. I also wish there was just a tiny bit more of the fun fast donut driving. I will definitely book this tour again!

Great Experience! - We had the best time on our excursion with Jarrid as our guide. We saw lots of eagles, and they hovercraft was such a neat experience, it’s a once in a lifetime thing, and we can’t wait to do it again next year.

Try it - you will like it! - Enjoyable ride. A different way to view Skagway area from the water. CPT Jerred was great. He was very knowledgeable about the geography, nature and animals we saw and of course about the hovercraft he was piloting. We had a smooth outbound ride and a wild bumpy fun return ride!!

Very unique way to see the wildlife in Skagway - Amazing experience to be able to see wildlife so close. Is likely one of Skagway secrets as none of the cruises offer this tour. Highly recommended for any age group. The captain and his crew were great. The boat is super interesting and fun

For a Fun Time on the Water in Skagway! - Had a Fantastic Time! Jerrid was great; he picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. We had perfect weather for our trip; sunny, warm, and calm seas. After leaving the small boat harbor, we headed across Lynn Canal, and cruised along the shoreline, spotting bald eagles and their nest before coming ashore on a sandy beach. We got out and stretched our legs for awhile before getting back on and heading up to the head of Lynn Canal. We went upriver aways, spotting some seals before turning around and heading back along the shoreline, spotting more eagles along the way. Be prepared for his “special tricks “ at the end of the trip. Our family had a great time; highly recommend it for anyone looking to have a fun time on the water. Alan, Mana, and Henry
