Creator's Key Takeaways

The cost was $350 per person, and I thought it was absolutely worth it because this is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience

I was really excited about this day because typically the excursions to see the Misty Fjords are floatplanes, and tiny planes are not my jam.

You can see here how close we're able to get to land in the Zodiacs, and that's one thing I really appreciate about having these excursions available
