Visit of the Wrangell Narrow?

[Jolimont]

I wonder if you've heard of anyone offering boat tours of the Wrangell Narrow, probably out of Ketchikan? It's kind of out of the way, but we have a request from an old mine-sweeper captain who'd really like to see that again. Any suggestions?

We travelled the Wrangell Narrows on an Alaska Marine Hughway ferry boat from Ketchikan to Skagway.

How long was that trip between Ketchikan and Skagway?

It is quite a ways from Ketchikan to Petersburg. The alaska ferry goes to Wrangel (about 4 hours if I remember right) and then on to Petersburg. The Wrangel narrows lie between Wrangel and Petersburg. I know of no tours from a cruise ship which would take you there. However if you are going to do it on your own, you will go through the narrows on the ferry. If you have a ship that docks in Wrangle, perhaps you can find a private tour that will take you to the narrows. But it will take at least 3 hours to go up and back I would think, even in a good fast boat.

I wrestled with reality for years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state, I finally won out over it. (Harvey 1950)

Next cruise- Serenade of the Sea to Alaska- July 25. Roll call started!

I haven't heard of anyone doing regular tours, but there are certainly charter operators who will take you there. It would be a full day on the water, but the Narrows are very impressive. The City has a list of operators at [url="http://www.wrangell.com/visitors/directory/category.cfm?Directory=5"]http://www.wrangell.com/visitors/directory/category.cfm?Directory=5[/url]
