I started planning excursions and to my surprise Alaska is not Caribbean, seems like local operators are not cheaper than the ship ( Princess). Do I miss anything ?
It seems a bit crazy charging 140$ for a hiking tour, say, in Icy point. Are there any options to take a taxi to a hiking trail? I don't really need a guide, I want a nice hike with views.
Same questions for other spots - what are truly "wow" excursions which worth the money or cheaper options to explore nature? Not so much into whales, more in hiking, glaciers..
