1. Radiance of the Seas
Vancouver, BC V6C 3T4
Canada
(866) 562-7625
Category:
Tours
Neighbourhood: Downtown
This review is specifically about the ship, and not the tour.
Both were excellent, but the excursions and port of calls deserve their own reviews.
Best feature: all the glass. This ship goes to Alaska and back and having an unobstructed view is…More »
2. Alaska Canopy Adventures
One of the "1000 things to do before you die."
I agree.
Now, I have been on other ziplines, but they just don't compare.
1) you are taught how to maneuver yourself here: how to zip fast or slow, stop without slamming into your guide or the tree, pull…More »
3. Cycle BC Rentals
Vancouver, BC V5T 1J3
Canada
(604) 709-5663
Categories:
Bike Rentals,
Motorcycle Dealers
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I cannot overstate how nice these guys were.
My family flew into Vancouver a couple of days before our cruise set sail for Alaska.
My whole family rides, and we wanted to rent motorcycles to go up into the mountains. The problem is, my younger brother…More »
4. Hoonah Bike Trek
The worst excursion of the entire trip.
What was bad?
1) The bikes.
2) The guide.
3) What there was to see.
1) The bikes were old, decrepid, beat up, and all together not worthy.
The helmets smelled very badly of sweat.
Not all of the bikes…More »
5. Burnaby Village Museum & Carousel
My favorite horsee is the white one with the pretty flowers in its mane.
On the carousel of course!
This is a neat museum about what life was like in the 20's around the Vancouver area.
What makes it so neat is it is set up like a village or town, and…More »
6. Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show
Ketchikan, AK 99901
(907) 225-6019
Something you've got to see if you're in Ketchican.
It is one of the cheapest excursions off the boat at about $35 a person.
1) They are funny.
They do obvious jokes real well and know how to make fun of themselves.
2) They are really good.
These are…More »
7. Sockeye Bicycle Company
A bike ride through majestic mountains that requires no effort.
How, you may ask?
Only ride downhill!
We went zooming down a mountain at 35 mph on BICYCLES!
I recommend the WHITE PASS TRAIN & KLONDIKE BIKE TOUR. First, you get to ride the train to…More »
8. White Pass & Yukon Route
Really gorgeous.
You go through, like, 4 different types of climates. Rain forest, Alpine, Tundra & something else. It's because of the serious climb in elevation you do while on this train ride.
The scenery is beautiful and you get to go over some…More »
9. Temsco Helicopters
Every part of this ROCKED!
First, you get in a helicopter. My first time. I thought I would get a bit of that elevator/rollercoaster feeling... nope. I can easily see how people who don't like airplanes would do helicopters. There is no WHOOPEE…More »
10. Alaska Sealife Center
Basic interactive aquarium set up.
Tanks with animals.
Exhibits where you push this and moves that. Slide this and that makes noise. And you are learning the whole while.
Worth it, because the focus is on the local wildlife. I had never seen some of…More »
11. Wilderness Express
Absolutely amazing.
I wish I was a better writer, so I could really get a picture in your head of how beautiful the countryside is that you pass in the comfort of your deluxe train car.
It is a 2 story train car with fine dining located on the first…More »
12. Alyeska Resort
This is a kick-ass resort.
I think there should be rules about the use of the word resort. The big difference between a hotel and a resort is that resorts have things to do.
You could spend a week here just doing the things the resort offers.
We only…More »
13. Barnes & Noble Booksellers
I had a huge problem.
We scheduled our family vacation before I knew the day that the 7th Harry Potter Book was going to be released.
I live in Miami, Florida and was going to be Anchorage, Alaska... how to make sure I would be able to get a copy…More »
14. Club Paris
The best fillet Mignon I've ever had in my life.
And I do my fair share of eating at fancified restaurants.
What made it so good?
1) started with a good piece of meat.
2) cooked perfectly to the temp I requested (medium rare)
3) caramelized, but not…More »
15. Big Daddy's BarB-Q
It's not a gimmick, it's not just good enough, or good for being located WAY north of the Mason-Dixon line... IT'S REALLY FRICKIN' GOOD!
I know, I'm from Miami and Miami doesn't count as part of the south so how can I tell good Bar-B-Que when I taste…More »
16. Santa Claus House
Of all the places I've ever seen Santa, he sure did look the most real to me here. Of course, maybe that is cause' we were in the NORTH POLE!
The Santa Claus House is located in the town of North Pole, Alaska, and has been the home of the original…More »
17. Chena Hot Springs Resort
The ice museum alone is worth the drive.
Where else can you sit down, on a fur covered ice stool, at a bar entirely made out of ice, and order an apple martini that comes in a glass made out of ice as well?
Get the theme?
So very cool.
But the resort…More »
18. El Dorado Gold Mine
Tourist Trap.
Albeit, very nice for a tourist trap. That is why 3 stars instead of 2.
I would not recommend you do this, but it was included in the surf & turf Royal Caribbean tour.
You go on a Disneyworld train ride through a tunnel and they tell…More »
19. Alaska Native Heritage Center
Very interactive and engaging.
You learn about the different native tribes that are found in and around Alaska. Emphasis on the differences between them.
What's cool? Outside, they have several different huts/tents/houses (don't know correct term)…More »
20. Pioneer Park
Old fashioned amusement park.
As in, free to get in, pay for each individual attraction. Lots to do.
My favorite was the 40 below freezer. They let you borrow a jacket and some boots and you get to stand inside a small freezer that is kept at 40…More »
