Creator's Key Takeaways

so it's not hard at all I mean he he was working but not working hard

whale watching is a must I think yeah whale watching is a must

first thing in the morning is probably better than the afternoon in terms of getting to enjoy that with fewer people

we definitely think it was worth it but you definitely have to keep that in mind when you're planning your Alaska cruise

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions early to secure spots and potentially get discounts.
Go on nature hikes first thing in the morning to avoid crowds.
Use a travel agent for potential discounts and logistics help.
Bring a camera with a good zoom for whale watching.
