reddog 23 Posted April 28 #1 Share Posted April 28 Hi. I could use some advice from people who have done this tour. I am looking at ‘Sitka's Barrier Islands & Fin Island Lodge.’ (This is through HAL, but I imagine other cruise lines have the same thing). This is the tour in an orange rubber raft zodiac boat that goes around the islands near Sitka and then eventually to Fin Island Lodge for the seafood meal. I want to choose this tour if the boating part is relatively long and in depth. If it’s just a quick ride over to a island with the food, then I’m not very interested. Has anyone done this before? Do you know, how long and in depth, boating adventure part is? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlueSkiesTX Posted July 4 #2 Share Posted July 4 Were you able to get any answers about this tour? I am also looking at it for our July 2025 sailing on Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could each consider crossposting on your respective cruiseline forums (HAL and Celebrity) where pax who already took this shorex will be more likely to see your question and reply.

They did a similar tour as their zodiac boat tour did not have enough participants. We booked it as Allen Marine does both tours and is highly rated. Thanks!
