    Beautiful scenery!

    We chartered BreakAway Adventures to go on the river and it was fabulous. Went up to Telegraph Creek, BC. Such beauty to see with all the glaciers and mountains, petroglyphs and more all pointed out by our guide. Awesome!

    A must see when in the area.

    Just an absolute wonder with all the changing waters and the views were fabulous. Great spots to see and can spent a lot of time just exploring the vastness of the river.

    We booked this excursion through the Regent cruise line. We were met at the dock by Captain Mark (?) and his daughter and boarded their jet boat with 8 other guests. They were very safety conscious and went over procedures carefully. Once we got through...More

    Jet Boat Tour

    Traveled with tour outfit out of Wrangell. Captain of the Chutine Warrior skillfully maneuvered around sandbars. We saw the blue ice at Shakes Glacier, river house boats, and jagged mountains. Charles Baxter

    Great tour

    We travelled up the Stikine River in a jet boat to the Shakes glacier. Beautiful scenery on the way with great commentary. Lots of waterfalls, icebergs, and the glacier to top it off.
