Alaska Excursions

Do the ports of the Inside Package have tour booths like in the Caribbean?

No, You need to do your research beforehand.

You can generally do a short walking tour on your own at most stops. but there are not a crush of taxis or peddlers trying to sell you an excursion.

Are you asking about private excursions at the port docks? There is... but some of the docks are remote and you need to do some walking to get to the tour operators. Edited October 16, 2016 by xlxo

In Juneau - There are a lot of tour operators set up right in town. They even have a nice booth area. If your ship docks at the far pier, there will be a bus that takes you to town for free. Just get to town and look for them. Flight seeing tours, bus tours, hiking tours etc. Just about anything you want

 

There will also be some in Ketchikan just standing around the docks. Not so in Skagway.

 

As mentioned it is better to do your research ahead of time on Alaska and know what it is you want to do because there are not near as many taxis just sitting around waiting on the cruise ship passengers.

Alaska is a place to book early in our experience. It is also a great place to rent a car for the day. Our family of 5 saved a bunch by renting cars and driving over having to pay for 5 on a bus

Thank you all for your information

While you are wise to book AK early the ports all of the ports have tours available on the dock, and most of the areas are much nice than anything you find in the Caribbean.
