Alaskan Shore Excursions?
Our Recommendations.....
Starting with Taku Glacier Lodge!
Are you thinking of taking a cruise to Alaska next year?
Think about this……. The shore excursions you decide to take can make your trip fabulous or just OK.
This series about Alaska shore excursions will give hopefully give you some insight into a few of the excursions we opted to take. We loved them all, but they were very different, ranging from exploring the wilds of Alaska via authentic bush plane, to visiting an Alaskan native village and old gold-mining towns; from a train ride to the White Pass and enjoying a blooming Canadian garden.
But our first port was Juneau Alaska and our amazing shore excursion to Taku Glacier Lodge.
