Q:
My group will be going directly from Princess Denali Wilderness Lodge via motorcoach, to the Riverboat Discovery tour. We arrive at 1:00 pm, same time the boat tour starts. My question is, will we have time to eat? What are our food options? Not sure if we would have time to "sit down" and eat before boarding the tour......any info would be appreciated!
A:
Our Riverboat Experience started at 9:00 am, and it included Lunch after we returned. Maybe yours will have your meal before, or when you return. Check your itinerary to be sure.
