Believe it or not, we booked a snorkel tour! Yes, snorkeling in 55 degree water in Ketchikan Alaska!!!! We are from the Bahamas... what am I thinking? We go in September on the Solstice.... We own a tour company in the Bahamas that takes people out snorkeling in our tropical waters, snorkeling on cruises never excites me because we do it all the time. But, after lots of research and things that did not seem to get great reviews or just seemed run of the mill, we found Snorkel Alaska. They go from shore and there are critters there we don't have in the Bahamas. You do get a 7mil wetsuit with gloves, booties, a hood... and the reviews and videos I am seeing look great and the people who have done it say you can't wait to get in the water bcs you're sweating in the wetsuit. So... yep, going to take the plunge.
