I just got back from a south bound on Celebrity from Seward to Vancouver. We did a trip in all ports except Icy Strait. In Juneau, the helicopter trip to Herbert glacier was the hightlight of the trip. I can't remember the name of the company, but there are several to choose from. Also did whsat I would call a whale glancing trip. We saw whales but they were quite a ways off. Still worth it I guess. A Flight to Misty Fjords on a sea plane was good even thought we went through some clouds and it rained a bit. Other pelple went on wildlife excurstions and they talked very highly of their experiences. So, it depends what you are interested in. There is a logger show in Ketichican(SP) and city tours in all ports. Then there are the Zip lines if you are into some excitment. Hope you have as much fun as we did. Almost forgot about the Yucon rail and bus trip. We went all the way to Emerald Lake (BEAUTIFUL), had lunch at a lodge and went on a trip on a summer sled pulled by huskies. OUTSTANDING.

Train one way, bus the other. We booked direct with Chiloot (or something like that) and it was an awesome tour.

My all time fav excursion of all time happens to be in Alaska!!

Dog sledding in Skagway..........we took the helicopter to the top of the glacier to the dog camp.............pricey but the best ever! We booked thru TEMSCO helicopters..

we also did the Float plane in Ketchikan......that was fun too............

We just returned and we did Whale Watching with Weatherpermitting and it was wonderful. Capt. Gregg was great. His wife traveled with us. I would definitely do a whale watch. Also look up Weatherpremitting they were just wonderful. They only do one trip a day and will do what ever time works for you. They also dropped us off at Mendenhal Glacier after we were done.....

I agree with H2O babe in that my top three would be the drive to Emerald Lake out of Skagway. The helicopter/glacier trek in Juneau. The whale watch in Juneau.

Other favorites are just walking around Creek Street in Ketchikan and taking the public bus that circles Ketchikan and the public bus in Juneau that goes to Douglas Island.
