Taku Glacier Hovercraft Adventure???

[vtxriders]

Has anyone done this excursion or know anyone who has?

 

I have not been able to find much information about it and yes, I did search this forum as well as Google.

Did you end up taking this tour? I just reserved it for May and I'm hoping someone who tried it has some feedback.

 

Thanks.

Trip Advisor seems to lump all Allen Marine trips together, but I did find this detailed review which gives me a better idea of what to expect. I think we'll like it!

Are you looking for information for Allen Marine or Coastal (which also has an airboat excursion)

 

Here is the link under Coastal:

No, I think ours is run by Allen Marine. No mention of a helicopter ride included. Thanks for

looking, though.:)

Your tour sounds very interesting. Please come back to this thread and let us know how it was ---- I am looking at options for 2017.

We just reserved this for early June.

 

It seems that it is new as of summer, 2015, so at least we all won't be the first guinea pigs.

 

It sounds pretty special!

Can I ask what your cruise line charges for this excursion?

Never mind...I see that Royal Caribbean offers it for a mere $339 per adult! :eek: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruises/9NightAlaskaNorthernGlacierCruise-RD09A005/excursions/38/100000002894554843?currencyCode=USD&sAccessibility=false&sDateMin=2017-05-01&sDateMax=2017-05-31&sailDate=05/17/2017&singleSailingMode=false&

 

For the same price - I have always wanted to do the Taku Lodge Flight & Feast: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruises/9NightAlaskaNorthernGlacierCruise-RD09A005/excursions/36/200000000002692837?currencyCode=USD&sAccessibility=false&sDateMin=2017-05-01&sDateMax=2017-05-31&sailDate=05/17/2017&singleSailingMode=false&
