Glassblowing Experience

A unique and out-of-the-ordinary Skagway shore excursion, the Glassblowing Experience Tour consistently comes in as the single highest-rated Skagway tour from post-trip reviews. It's a fully hands-on experience where you not only observe the glass craftsmen immersed in their skill, but you will actually take the reins and work with molten glass to create your own Alaskan memento. You will have the chance after a private orientation to practice this ancient art, working with molten glass to craft your own handmade ornament. The ornament is yours to keep and will be mailed to your home so you can use it in your garden pond, hang on a tree or display in a window.

It's the exclusivity and intimacy of this tour that lends the positive customer satisfaction ratings. This is a small-group Skagway tour in a picturesque setting. After you've had the chance to create your own glass ornament, you'll enjoy a guided tour of the glass gallery. Having just finished your own piece, you can view these artistically hand-blown works in a fresh light with a new-found appreciation for the skill and craftsmanship that goes into these intricate pieces. During the tour, beer and wine are available for purchase. Stroll through the thoughtfully kept gardens, boasting vibrant Alaskan flowers that flourish with the extended sunlight during the summer months.
