The time at the springs is not guided you will be provided with a radio to communicate with the boat captain who will be standing by out in the bay.  Two hours at the springs will soak all of your cares away and leave you feeling refreshed.    After your soak its back aboard the raft for the ride through the island passages and keyholes of the south sound back to Sitka.  This excursion is a truly Alaskan experience you are sure to remember.
