What To Expect

Haines

Visit a true naturalist’s paradise - Haines, Alaska. Haines boasts some of the most pristine wild country in Southeast Alaska. Your expert naturalist guide will share their knowledge of this area’s unique wildlife, plants, and ecosystems.

Chilkoot River

In May, June and July, the wildflowers are at their peak and eagles are busy caring for their young on the nest. Beginning in late July, the river fills with migrating salmon, while brown bears come down to the river’s edge to feed. As the number of salmon in the river increases, the likelihood of seeing bears down along the river increases, with a good probability of bear sightings from early August through late September.

Chilkoot Lake State Recreation Area

As you drive through the park, your guide knows the best places to stop for scenery and the possibility of wildlife spotting. Your guide is equipped with a powerful spotting scope to bring the wildlife in close, and your guide will help interpret the behavior of the various wildlife and explain how the animals fit into the Chilkoot’s complex ecosystem. Make sure you bring your camera to take advantage of the numerous photo opportunities.

Fort William H. Seward National Historic Landmark

Fort William H Seward overlooks the Port Chilkoot Cruise Ship Dock. Built by the US Army in 1904, the fort has a storied past and is now privately owned and maintained featuring a number of outdoor art installations, restaurants and shops. Pass through on your way back to your ship.

My girlfriend and I had the privilege of having a private tour with Joe and David. I've never in my life seen someone as passionate as Joe is. It was an incredible experience of having him tell us all kinds of stories about Haines and the region, as well as learning about Haines' flora and fauna. Thanks to him, we learned how to take our time to fully observe the environment, which lets us see all kinds of beauty about the world and nature. Since our tour, we've taken as much time as needed to fully observe the nature around us and appreciate it. During the tour we were able to see all kinds of wildlife, like different species of birds, seals, sea lions and eagles. Joe made everything interesting and made us excited about what we were seeing. David was a great addition to the tour as well! He had deep knowledge about the region and wildlife and was able to contribute to Joe's explanations. He also brought with him a field telescope, which was awesome since we were able to observe wildlife that was really far from us and appreciate even more what we were seeing. This experience was incredible and we can't recommend enough taking a tour with them! Thanks a lot!

Great experience. We are a group of 8 (including 2 small children). Bruce was a great guide. Very patience as well. He took us to see so many wildlife. We saw so many Bald Eagles and Salmons. We also saw a mommy bear and a bear cub crossing a bridge. He also took us to so many great pictures locations.

We had a wonderful day with David, our guide. He was so knowledgeable and he really accommodated what we wanted to do. We saw mama bears with their cubs as well as bald eagles, seals and other wildlife. It was well worth our time and money.

Thanks for this review. I really appreciate that you said this tour was worth your time and money. Since we only offer small-group tours, our prices tend to be higher than other large group tours. But we believe in quality over quantity, and appreciate it when that commitment is recognized.
