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.

Great way to spend the day when stopping in Skagway on a cruise. Enjoy a comfortable van ride to several stops along the Chilkoot river and the Chilkoot lake. We saw more bald eagles than we could count and two adult brown bears along with three cubs. Scenery was breathtaking and the guide was great.

What a great experience we had on this tour. I booked this instead of taking one from our cruise ship. Our ship docked in Haines. It was a very short & easy walk to the meeting point. Our group size was about 12-14 which was great. So was our guide, Jen. We saw bears - a mama & her 3 cubs. They were across the river. We were able to watch them cross the river & then come up on our side. Amazing to see the cubs be able to get across the river. Jen kept us at a safe distance & then took us to a bridge to be able to watch them again. Then the bears walked under the bridge. It was an incredible experience. We also saw eagles at the lake. Thanks Jen & Rainbow Glaciers!

We had Jen as our guide and she was great. Very knowledgeable and good sense of humor. The scenery is breathtaking. We saw lots of eagles close up. We just missed the bears. (As we were driving up they were walking away) But the lake is beautiful and we are so glad that we did this tour. We were finished by 12:30 so we could spend the rest of the day in town.
