marley Posted February 7, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hi, I need some guidance on Alaska excursions. My kids Love anything hands on and in nature. What should we book? I'm overwhelmed by all the choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlxo Posted February 7, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 7, 2016 My kids Love anything hands on and in nature. Perfect.... Alaskan mosquitos are Zika free. To clarify.... which cruise ship and sailing are you on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted February 7, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Well, if they are doing Alaska on DCL, they are on the Wonder. It is the only ship that can go thru the canal! When you are able to book excursions, you should see that DCL offers a couple of kid oriented ones that are only available thru Disney (no other company has them). We worked thru a company called Shore Trips which gave us much smaller groups than DCL. On one excursion it was just our family and the guide modified things slightly after asking my daughter what she wanted to see. NOW, it was not intended to be "just us," but we were the only people who booked thru them! Whale watching was amazing. Totem Bite State Park you can probably skip--they have reproductions of authentic stuff, but it wasn't really a great excursion. On the other hand, the public bus ride is $1 per person each way and there are free guides at the park (live people + handouts). The only thing the people who booked thru DCL got that we didn't was a cup of hot chocolate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvmypetz Posted February 8, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) I would Google the activity you're interested in plus Alaskan city you'll be in. Booked helicopter ride up to dog sledding tour. Met van outside at appointed area. It then proceeded to return to ship and pick up those passengers! It was back in 2010 so comp name and exact $ fail me but it was def way cheaper than CCL $. And I knew I wouldn't have to worry about returning late to the ship when I saw the other guests. And I think you can buy a ticket for the train yourself in Skagway Edited February 8, 2016 by Luvmypetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
