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.

Took this tour during the cruise ship stop in Haines. Nate met us at the pier and away we went. Very relaxed, informative drive. Stopped to walk along the shore and look at rocks, to look at the beautiful views and wildlife. Saw eagles, watched surf scoters work together to get food. Nate set up a spotting scope so we could look at the snow and rock formations up high on the mountain. Chilkoot Lake was beautiful and we spent time just enjoying it. If you love the beauty of nature, this outing is for you. You may be lucky and have Nate as a guide!
