Chilkoot Charters and cost...is it just me?

[missouri01]

I cannot find prices for any of their tours online. This is the first time I have seen a reservation form that collects credit card info without giving some indication of pricing. :confused:

I noticed that so I called them and got the necessary info. Basically, they are catering to cruise ship passengers, not walk-ons.

Just email them and they will give you the pricing information.

 

There is a thread here as well that contains the pricing information for all of their train/bus tours.

Thank you so much, everyone! This is the best board ever!!! Another question. I have read on here that the morning train is great for the information they provide but the afternoon train back has a better chance of having clear views without fog. Which is better??? :( Choices, Choices!!

I thought it strange they didnt have prices advertised? But they come straight back via email with them. I have booked the afternoon train 12 o'clock dep. As we are in Skegway till 9pm it will give us a more leisurely breakfast and morning. :)

Nope, no guarantees on "views".

 

It is more important to book based on using your time best.

You may not have a choice - I requested pricing for a particular date & their information included both morning & afternoon options. When I filled out the form to make reservation for afternoon trip I received a reply that only morning option available for our date. Our ship is the only one in town that day. Luckily it didn't much matter for us - only other activity planned is hiking and maybe self guided walking tour of town.
