Has anyone done the Tracy Arm small boat excursion from Koningsdam this season? Tracy Arm was listed as a separate stop on my itinerary on Navigator until recently. It is no longer listed as a stop on Navigator, however, the Tracy Arm excursion is still listed on MY itinerary (it’s now only listed under Juneau - it used to be listed under Tracy Arm and Juneau). I am really hoping that this excursion will happen (I have already had the White Pass train and Yukon expedition canceled). I am concerned that the Tracy Arm stop is no longer listed as a stop on the itinerary. I would love to hear if anyone has done the excursion from a HAL ship.

Thank you all for your input. Per the port schedule, Koningsdam docks at Ore Dock, which looks closest to Yakutania Point. I had originally booked the combo Yukon/White Pass train tour, but after it got canceled, I decided to do the Yukon bus tour with Chilkoot. I booked the earlier (8:30 am) departure, which is supposed to return to Skagway by 3 pm, so that I would still be able to do the 4 pm summit train tour IF I wanted to. Now that I am getting closer to my cruise, I don’t want to commit to another excursion, and since I am more interested in wildlife/nature than shopping, I thought walking to Yakutania Point and possibly on to Smuggler’s Cove would be a great way to spend the rest of my time in Skagway. Should I be worried about bears on those trails?

I will be in Skagway at the end of June. I am doing the Chilkoot Yukon bus tour that day. The tour gets back to Skagway at around 3 pm, and the cruise ship leaves Skagway at 8 pm. I have read that the walk to Yakutania Point is really worthwhile. What is the best way to get to Yakutania Point from the cruise dock and is 3-4 hours enough time?
