Alaska's Tracy Arm Fjord
It seems that the majority of people who travel to Alaska do so by cruise ship. But when my good friend, Jo, came up with the idea of traveling around Alaska by the ferry system, I thought it was brilliant. More details on our trip to come but for now I'm going to highlight one of our day trips to Tracy Arm Fjord. We spent an entire day on the Captain Cook, run by Adventure Bound Alaska. The rate is $160 per person ($95 per child over 5) for a day trip that leaves at 8:30am and returns to the dock by 6pm. The cabin of the boat is heated or you can sit outside for the whole trip if you would like. You may bring your own food or there is food available on board for purchase. Take a gander at the beauty of the fjord -

ReplyDeleteGreat photos! They make me want to try this ferry out when I finally make it over to Alaska some day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind comments! The ferry really is a great way to go in Alaska - and I plan a future post with all the details.
ReplyDeleteI am dying to see icebergs. Somehow we keep missing our chance! Thank you so much for linking up to Friday Postcards this week! - walking on travels
ReplyDeleteI hope you get your chance - I was amazed at how incredibly blue they were! And the captain of the boat said we were lucky it was overcast so that made them appear more blue.
ReplyDeleteThis got me so excited for my upcoming trip to Alaska! It is such an amazing destination.
