Creator's Key Takeaways

I don't normally do excursions. So, you know, if I'm making a video on an excursion, it's got to be a good one.

I absolutely love that. But I loved all the seats on the plane.

The restaurant is absolutely amazing. The food was absolutely fantastic.

I love both of these excursions, but if I only had to pick one, I'd take the Taku Lodge excursion with the salmon feast.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book sea plane excursions directly from Wings Airways or your cruise ship.
Bring binoculars and keep your camera ready for glacier calving.
Choose the Taku Lodge excursion for a salmon feast if you can only pick one sea plane tour.
Use the observation decks on the White Pass Railroad train for great photos.
