Skagit Tours takes you all the way up to Ross Dam, and offers a glimpse of parts of Diablo Lake that can only be seen by boat.
Experience the jaw-dropping beauty of Diablo Lake on a fun, interactive experience aboard the Alice Ross IV in the heart of North Cascades National Park. This glass roof boat provides the best views of Diablo Lake from inside or outside the boat. Enjoy stunning views of glacier-clad peaks and hidden waterfalls, look for wildlife and birds, and learn about the fascinating natural and cultural history of the area.

This one of a kind tour offers views of places that you just can't see while driving over the North Cascades Scenic Highway. Fun, engaging guides offer an interactive tour, sharing the stories of this historic area. Here are some testimonials from last season:
“Energetic, fun, informative guides brought it all to life!”
“I would give you guys 100 stars if I could. This was just so much more than I hoped for. It was also my parent’s first national park and I couldn’t ask for a better experience.”
“This was an exceptionally fun, very thoughtful, and informative experience.”
