Creator's Key Takeaways
We're visiting Skagway on our inside passage cruise aboard the Coral Princess.
I would definitely recommend it. Uh it was fun. Um it wasn't too long of a journey.
Hands down worth it and one probably one of the highlights of our entire entire cruise.
Skagway was everything we hoped it would be. Adventurous, quirky, and surprisingly sweet.

📍 Skagway, Alaska | We Skipped the Train — Are We Crazy?! Welcome aboard our Alaska cruise adventure! In this episode, we dock in Skagway, Alaska — one of the most iconic stops on any Inside Passage itinerary — and do the unthinkable… we didn’t ride the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway. But did we regret it? Instead of the famous train ride, we booked an adrenaline-pumping excursion: Ziplining over Grizzly Falls. Tucked away in the Tongass National Forest, this high-flying tour took us through the trees, over waterfalls, and across epic suspension bridges. And yes — it was WILD. If you're planning an Alaska cruise and looking for exciting excursions in Skagway, we’ll show you what it’s like to ditch the crowds and go full send into the wilderness. We also share what you can do at the port, what's walkable, and how this zipline stacks up as an alternative to the railroad. 🔔 Subscribe to follow our full Alaska series and future Treksio adventures! 👍 Like, comment, and share to help support the channel.
