Alaska is one of those bucket-list destinations that travelers dream about, but often put off for “someday.” The truth? There's no better time than now. Cruising through Alaska gives you front-row seats to glaciers, mountains, and wildlife right from your balcony — but the adventure doesn't stop there. In this episode of the Sunshine Travelers Podcast, we're taking you beyond the balcony to explore the unforgettable shore excursions in Alaska's three most popular cruise ports: Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway. From flightseeing over fjords to spotting bears at salmon streams, these are the once-in-a-lifetime experiences that turn a cruise into an adventure you'll talk about for years. What You'll Discover in This Episode: Why it's worth getting off the ship and exploring Alaska beyond the cruise port How to choose the right excursions (and plan for weather changes or cancellations) The most popular things to do in each port Tips for balancing guided excursions with exploring on your own Some links are affiliate links. See our disclosure.
What happens when an Alaskan medevac pilot takes a jet boat deep into the backcountry — and finds himself surrounded on all sides by owl calls that may not have been owls at all? In this chilling and eye-opening episode, we sit down with Craig, a longtime Fairbanks resident and pilot, who has spent decades listening to native Alaskans, nurses, ferry workers, and even fellow pilots share their raw encounters with Sasquatch. From owl-imitations along the Teklanika River, to jet pilots spotting “dark figures in the middle of nowhere” over Prince of Wales Island, to aggressive howls, glowing eyes, and vanishing presences across Alaska's wilderness, Craig reveals what happens when you simply ask the question most people are afraid to. You'll hear stories spanning Ketchikan, Dillingham, Bethel, the Denali Highway, Mount St. Helens, and even Fort Lewis — with whispered connections to portals, spirit worlds, and government secrets. This episode isn't just about sightings — it's about the violent, otherworldly edge of Sasquatch that few dare to discuss.

From Alaska to Washington, Chris told me all about the twists and turns in a case that, on the surface, had seemed so straightforward, and how a remote community still grapples with the loss of one of its own.You can hear all about the murder of Dr. Eric Garcia, including details not shared today, by listening to Cold Blooded: Mystery in Alaska every Tuesday, wherever you get your podcasts.Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.com
