Chilkoot Wilderness and Wildlife Viewing - Départ de Skagway

Aperçu
Laissez la foule de Skagway derrière vous et visitez le parc d'État du lac Chilkoot à Haines.

Votre visite commence par une promenade en catamaran à grande vitesse le long des fjords aux parois escarpées qui relient Skagway à Haines. Plus d'une douzaine de chutes d'eau sans nom tombent à des centaines de mètres des deux côtés du bateau. À votre arrivée à Haines, vous rencontrerez votre guide naturaliste expert pour vous rendre au parc d'État du lac Chilkoot.

Ce parc a tout pour plaire : un lac turquoise entouré de sommets enneigés, une rivière remplie de saumons qui se jette dans le la mer et d'importants sites culturels tlingits. Des pygargues à tête blanche, des phoques communs et des ours bruns sont souvent observés ici.

Spent over 200 per person to see about 10 bald eagles. I do understand that people cannot control what animals are "out" but I was expecting to see anything more than eagles, especially for the 4 hrs spent on the bus. It was more like a scenic sit seeing trip photography trip. Our guide David was amazing though!

Thanks for sharing your candid thoughts. It is critical for us that guests have realistic expectations about our tours. The money you spent was not just to see bald eagles and other wildlife. This tour includes meet and greet service at the cruise ship dock in Skagway, round trip transfers between the cruise ship dock and the Fast Ferry dock, a round trip scenic Fast Ferry ride between Skagway and Haines ($75p/p retail just by itself) meet and greet and pick-up at the dock in Haines, and four hours guided touring in Haines with a professional naturalist. We provide professional-grade spotting scopes and binocular on the tour. And the tour includes a nice lunch. All Rainbow Glacier Adventure tours are small group tour: we have a maximum of 14 per vehicle. You were not in a big crowded 40 passenger bus like other companies. And we do not spend four hours in the bus. We get out and explore a variety of environments and make numerous stops along the way. I appreciate that you commented that David was amazing. David Kresni has a master's degree in Environmental Education, is a first-rate wildlife photographer and is a recognized expert in the field of global climate change. We cannot control the number of bald eagles that you see on any tour. As far as other wildlife goes, beginning in August the pink salmon start running up the Chilkoot River and the odds of seeing brown bear increases every week until October. But we never guarantee wildlife sightings. I am sorry that your expectations did not match the experience. We have a commitment to high-quality tours. The value is in the overall experience. If you read the reviews on Trip Advisor, you will find that the vast majority of our guests thoroughly enjoy the experience and feel like they got great value for their money.

Worst excursion ever! Highlight was boat ride to Haines. Down hill from there. 4 hours on riding around Haines and stopping at pull offs (no facilities) and hanging around each parking lot for 45+ minutes. Enclosed are pics of the picnic lunch. I was not expecting gourmet food, But for $219 pp, a restaurant quality sandwich would have been appreciated, Instead of one that looks like the Inexperienced tour guide threw together in her kitchen. We saw one bear from far away.

I was happy to see that you saw a brown bear in the wild on your tour. To see a brown bear in the wild, even from a distance, should be considered a privilege and a highlight. Brown bear do not cohabitate well with humans, and have been largely eliminated from the lower 48 states. We always bring high-powered spotting scopes on our wildlife tours so that bears can be viewed safely from a distance. Our guides are experienced at finding bear, and also teaching our guests about bear and how they fit into the Chilkoot ecosystem. We never guarantee bear sightings. Our guides are seasoned and well trained. First and foremost, they are trained in bear safety. We stay close to the vehicle in the parking areas because our number one priority is safety. To venture far from the vehicle in bear country exposes our guests to unnecessary risks. We do not advertise this as a hiking tour. Even elderly guests and those with poor mobility can enjoy this tour. It is an educational tour and a scenic drive. Each stop is carefully chosen to provide information about various ecosystems where the wildlife lives. On our four-hour tour, our guests experience a fjord, an estuary, a riverside stop, and a scenic lake. Contrary to your comments, there are facilities at the majority of our stops. Our lunch consists of a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread, a crisp apple and a fresh-baked cookie. Mountain Market, a popular local Haines eatery, prepares our lunches each morning. We even offer gluten-free, dairy-free and vegetarian lunch options with advance notice. I am sorry you were not satisfied with your experience with us. Rainbow Glacier Adventures has been in business for over twenty years and we have received hundreds of five-star reviews on Tripadvisor. I sincerely hope my comments help you to understand this tour and our company better.
