About

Sounds crazy doesn’t it? The snorkeling in Alaska is amazing. Alaska’s intertidal zone provides a rich assortment of plants and animals to view. Don't worry about being cold. Our water temperature averages about 55 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and reach a high of 65 degrees in July. We provide full 7mm wetsuits with a hood, boots and gloves to keep you warm while in the water. Wetsuits keep you warm by filling with a thin layer of water which heats up to body temperature in just a few minutes time.

The Mountain Point Snorkeling Adventure is an all inclusive Shore Excursion. We provide everything you need to snorkel safely and comfortably in our waters. We include roundtrip transportation, full instructions, all the equipment and a fully guided one hour marine life tour in addition to hot showers, drinking water, hot chocolate, coffee and tea. Our staff are all PADI certified Snorkeling Tour Guides, Rescue Divers, Divemasters or SCUBA Instructors.
