Description
Snorkel the famed Inside Passage with Alaska's most experienced outfit. The Mountain Point Snorkeling Adventure is an all inclusive 3-hour adventure that is sure to be the highlight of your cruise.
Immerse yourself in Southeast Alaska's breathtaking underwater world as you snorkel the calm and clear waters of Mountain Point in Ketchikan. You'll stay toasty warm in a state-of-the-art 7mm wetsuit complete with hood, boots and gloves as you hover among Alaska's diverse and colorful marine life.

The site has shallow tide pools teeming with marine life and steep underwater rock walls for freediving, all just five miles from your ship.
