Setting out from downtown Skagway, enjoy a 10-mile drive along the coast to the beautiful Dyea valley, home to an old Gold Rush settlement now returned to nature. On the drive, you may spot seals and eagles.

Upon arrival at the put in location, you will get your flotation vest before boarding the rubber rafts with your captain / guide. Along with your group of never more than 10 guests, you will sit back and let your guide do the paddling. As you float along, they will point out wildlife, native plants and tell stories of the area’s fascinating history as you float down the gentle Taiya River. Float time is approximately 45 minutes on the river. After the rafting enjoy a riverside snack.

Time permitting. you will also stop at the Skagway scenic overlook for a panoramic view of the town after the float.
