Creator's Key Takeaways

the best way to save money is just pick a couple of the excursions that you really want to do and book them right away because they sell out

it rains a lot in Alaska so be prepared with a rain jacket waterproof shoes and make sure your camera gear is protected

the local bus is the cheapest way to get there I wouldn't really recommend it though if you're not up for a 5m walk or if you don't have at least four or 5 hours to spend

we had king crab fish and chips and clam chowder it was delicious and the service was excellent

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions early as they sell out
Bring rain gear and protect camera equipment
Use the local bus for cheapest transport but plan for long walks and time
Walk one way and take the gondola back at Icy Strait Point
