Skagway plan including lunch

[renee1222]

We will be docked in skagway 8am-8pm with a shore excursion from 12:30-5:30pm. It's been 6 years since I've been,  but I seem to remember a shuttle that would take you from the port into town. Would it be feasible to take the shuttle in the morning, eat an early lunch around 11 in town and return on the shuttle to the port area by 12:30 for the excursion? My concern is how often the shuttle runs and where the drop-off point in town would be.

 

My goal is to eat local seafood in each port. I also seem to remember a restaurant possibly right alongside the port, before getting into town. Is there a restaurant there and if so, what is the name of it?

The shuttle runs continuously.  $3 per ride or $5 for the day.  Halibut and chips at Skagway Brewing is great!

The last two times we dined at Skagway Brewing Company we both thought the quality of our meals had markedly slipped.  Hopefully quality has improved.

Skagway Fish Company has very good food and is literally right at the dock area if you want something close by. No shuttle required - just a short walk from the ship.

Don’t forget the local Doughboy for dessert.
