Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. As a local operator, we monitor the cruise schedules daily. Our tours are timed specifically to ensure you have a relaxed experience and return to the dock with plenty of time before your ship’s “all aboard” call.

Often, yes — especially earlier in the day. However, tours frequently fill on cruise days, so booking ahead guarantees your spot. If you’re already in town and want to join a tour today, feel free to call or text me at 907‑802‑0057, and I’ll let you know what’s available.

Wrangell is a charming, historic town, which means our sidewalks vary in condition. While we stay on designated pedestrian paths, you may encounter uneven surfaces or steep transitions. We recommend sturdy, comfortable walking shoes.

Yes — our tours are designed for a relaxed, conversational pace. We make frequent stops for stories, photos, and viewpoints. If you need an extra moment to rest, simply let me know. This is your time to enjoy Wrangell, not a race.

Yes. Our standard city walking tour is accessible. For tours visiting Petroglyph Beach, guests using wheelchairs or with limited mobility can enjoy the experience from the ADA-accessible deck, which features interpretative signs and high-quality replicas of the ancient rock carvings.

On “The Explorer” tour (offered during appropriate tides), we may head down a small set of stairs to the beach.

Please note: The beach environment includes slippery rocks, driftwood logs, and uneven sand/gravel. Guests choosing to leave the deck and walk onto the beach do so at their own risk.

Yes. Restrooms are available near the tour’s start and end points, including at the Wrangell Museum. We recommend using the facilities before the tour begins, but if you need a stop along the way, we’ll accommodate whenever possible.

Yes! Wrangell sits in the heart of the Tongass National Forest—a temperate rainforest—so mist and light rain are part of the experience. Our tours operate rain or shine. Dress in layers and bring a waterproof jacket.
