Creator's Key Takeaways
I was lucky enough to do a whale watching excursion in September, and I was just shocked at how many uh whales we did see.
They actually guarantee a whale sighting. So, so you get the glacier guarantee. We got the whales.
It's a beautiful little town. But yeah, this is a very popular portfol.
The White Pass Rail is often included. And on that side of things, it's a one-way, right?
