Eagle Preserve Float Trip in Haines

Overview

Simply put, a private rafting excursion is the best possible way to see bald eagles in their natural habitat. Floating through the heart of the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve in Haines Alaska is a must see attraction and you won't want to miss the jaw dropping scenery, delightful guides and genuine Alaskan wildlife.

Watch eagles catching salmon and caring for young eagles in the numerous nests that line the riverbanks. Look for bears, moose, and a host of other wildlife that call the preserve home.

Relax or take pictures as your private guide navigates the narrow channels of the Preserve's glacial fed rivers.

Enjoy a hearty snack and hot drinks at the end of the tour.

Local pickup and all river gear is included.

We booked a combo trip w/ Haines instead of taking an excursion offered by the cruise boat. Andy handled the float trip expertly and kept up an informative commentary the whole time. We saw a bunch of eagles and managed to get some really good pictures - up pretty close and personal. After the float and the included snack (love the local smoked salmon), Andy hooked us up w/ Drake for a flightseeing trip. Drake was as enthusiastic as we were. We flew over the east arm of Glacier Bay for a view of icefields and glaciers from the air. We had seen them from the cruise ship the day before, but this really gave us a new appreciation for the extensiveness of the ice. The sky was very clear and Drake lined us up for some wonderful photos. This was a pretty expensive outing by our standards. But it was a better deal that the cruise excursions and we certainly got our moneys worth. We highly recommend the Haines combo trip.

We had two rafts, and the guides were both excellent. One we had for the bus ride from Haines to the Preserve, and the other we had on the raft. Can't remember their names, but the girl was outstanding as a raft guide and she kept us afloat through an amazing ride. We saw several eagles along the way, even though it wasn't salmon running season, and we enjoyed the entire tour. This perserve was on my bucket list to observe, and I wasn't disappointed.
