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.

Amy did an amazing job of trying to find us wildlife on a very warm day. She had lots of information related to history and was so very down-to-earth. She was a fun guide! Amy's mom - she's well! 🥰

Amy, our tour guide was the best! She knew all things Alaska and made our excursion the most enjoyable yet! Amy was so knowledgeable about plants, salmon and other wildlife. She found mountain goats for us and bald eagles.

We had a wonderful small group tour with Garrett. His knowledge of the area was very impressive. We saw nature at its best and he explained the significance of what we were seeing. He went above and beyond and even air dropped the photos that he took through his spotting scope.

Thanks for this great review of your time with us and with Garrett. Garrett has vast knowledge of the area and he loves sharing it with our guests. I'm so glad to hear that he was able to share some of the photos with you that he took on tour. That is the type of 5 star service that we like to be known for at Rainbow Glacier Adventures.
