I have to give Windstar Cruises credit for using Rainbow Glacier Adventures instead of whatever large-group company the other cruise line in town used. Byrne, our driver was informative and funny. Robert was the guide for our group and took us expertly down the river. Unfortunately, we were there a little too early for a lot of activity on the river, but the scenery was outstanding and the trip was relaxing. We did see a few eagles and a few other birds.

Thanks for mentioning that Windstar chose Rainbow Glacier Adventures for your rafting experience. Many of the small cruise lines are reaching to us because we share similar values. We do not offer large-group rafting tours, we believe in keeping our tours small and intimate. Byrne and Robert both have vast experience in Haines and the Eagle Preserve. We do all we can to maximize the number of eagles we see on each tour. Being that they are wild creatures, the numbers of eagles varies on each trip and varies with the season. The key is to understand their life cycle in order to maximize the number or eagles you see and, more importantly, maximize the quality of the viewing experience of the ones you do see. Until September, the adult eagles are tied to their territories and nests. Once the young leave the nest, they are free to roam. This means, when we find an active bald eagles nest along the river, we can be fairly confident to see eagles around that nest all summer long. We know where the nest are and always float past respectfully. This also mean that immature eagles who are not tied to a nest follow the salmon runs along the river, and our guides know the timing of the various runs in the tributary streams. This also means that in September, the numbers of eagles begins to increase. Because of a late salmon run and unique conditions along the Chilkat River, in November you can see thousands of eagles in the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. We don't get cruise ship visitors in November, but we do get a steady number of photographers and nature lovers who come to Haines to witness this wildlife spectacle. If you want to see hundreds of eagles in a spectacular setting, we invite you to come back in November and join us for a private tour. We even have a cabin, Swan View Cabin, located right in the heart of the Eagle Preserve that you could rent for your stay! My book, Where Eagles Gather, provides an in-depth look at the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve and may inspire you to return.

I took this float rip as part of a cruise adventure and had a really relaxing and enjoyable time.I was met at Skagway by a tour driver for my 45 min ferry transfer to Haines. The ferry ride to Haines was great & the naturalist commentary interesting but nothing special. Haines is small (3 main shops) but very beautiful and pretty much quiet / isolated for half the year until the cruise / tourist season starts. Arriving in Haines we were met by our float guide (PhD Environmental Science) and transferered onto a bus for approx 40 min journey to the Chilkat River Bald Eagle Preserve rv point, our guide kept us informed and entrained the whole journey with his vast knowledge. The day of my trip was gloriously sunny and after a picnic lunch we received a safety briefing & buoyancy vests before being allocated 8 to a raft (you need to be mobile really to get on & off safely without a lot of assistance). We set of for a fabulously relaxing float through the preserve and Megan, our river guide, did all the hard work, whilst sharing her love & knowedge for the area. I saw loads of Bald Eagles and managed to take some great photos. The Chilkat river is very smooth and the surrounding scenery amazing, very peaceful. The trip ended too soon (2hrs approx on the river) but at the end we received cookies & drinks before getting back on the bus heading back to our ferry crossing. A really lovely day, I highly recommend this experience.

This is a nice review but this is for a different company. We offer the same trip but these guides do not work for Rainbow Glacier Adventures.

Our family of 3 (including an almost 14-year-old) had a fabulous time in Haines and on the river. Nate was a terrific guide on the water, fun, friendly and knowledgeable about the area, and Carolyn was an incredible ambassador for Haines - we are tempted to return to Alaska just to hang out there for awhile. Beautiful setting, including the sights and sounds of eagles, and a juvenile coastal brown bear. Our favorite excursion during a seven day cruise!
