Adventure Tips

Dress in layers

Alaskan weather changes rapidly; wearing layers helps you stay comfortable throughout the day.

Bring rain gear

Water spray and possible rain make waterproof jackets and pants crucial for staying dry on deck.

Pack sunscreen

Even in cool weather, sun reflecting off the water can cause burns; use SPF to protect exposed skin.

Use non-slip shoes

Wet boat decks can be slippery; sturdy, non-slip footwear enhances safety during the trip.
