We did this excursion as part of our recent cruise tour. We boarded a ferry in Skagway and traveled about 1/2 hour to Haines. We had nice views from the ferry and the trip was smooth. The ferry had two decks and there was a snack bar with restrooms onboard. We arrived at Haines dock and boarded a bus that took us to the start point for the float portion of the trip. They provided good heavy wader boots and life vests and they transported our shoes to the take out point. They did a good safety briefing. The water was swift but was not very deep. This is truly a brown water float (not a whitewater rafting event.) We spent the first fifteen minutes trying to get the raft off of the sand bar at the launch point. We were in the last raft so we could not float by when one of the other rafts got stuck on a hidden sand bar for about fifteen more minutes. We did regularly see eagles perched on trees and or sand bars in the wide river. Luckily, my wife and I had brought our binoculars since many of the eagles were quite a distance from the raft. With the two delays and since we were the last raft, we had no time at all to eat the provided lunch. We had to grab some wrap sandwiches, a drink and a cookie and eat them on the bus that transported us back to the dock for immediate return to Skagway. They even had to call the ferry to have them wait for us. So we did see some eagles (about 12) and we did get lunch (balanced on our laps on the school bus). And we did see a bit of Haines (from the ferry and as the bus drove through town). I wish the trip had included enough time to enjoy the lunch at the take out point, and maybe enough time to walk through Haines for even a few minutes. We were a bit disappointed for the price that we paid for the adventure. A couple of small changes would have made it more worth that many hours of the excursion. Recommendation - if you do this excursion - get in the first raft (furthest down river) so you might have a few minutes to eat your lunch at the take out point.

I don't think this review is for our company, Rainbow Glacier Adventures. We do not serve our lunch at the takeout and do not serve "wrap" sandwhiches." It never takes us 15 minutes to launch a raft and we don't get stuck 15 minutes along the river. We have not called the Fast Ferry once this summer to have them wait for our tour to return. So I believe this review is for another company. I am glad you got to see 12 bald eagles, they are amazing birds.

Excellent adventure floating down the river with Joe Ordonez as our guide. Well organized and easy trip from Skagway to Haines on the fast ferry. Met Joe up the river and began our leisurely trip down the river. He is a wealth of information and the trip was relaxing and informative. We were so inspired we will be returning in November to view the Bald Eagle Council! -Ed and Heather Gardnerville, NV

The trip started with the ferry ride from Skagway to Haines, a great trip in its own right. Then a mini bus trip to the Rafting spot. Again another adventure. Dona gave great commentary and stopped along the way to see points and birds of interest. Then the rafting itself was superb. Our rafter of 36 years experience made it look easy navigating the fast flowing river. We saw bald headed eagles and bear footprints - but no bears unfortunately. A fabulous day in all.

Thanks for this great review. I was your guide that day and it really was a great trip. I like that you t share in this review details about the entire experience, because it really is a package. We meet you at the cruise ship dock in Skagway, transfer you to the Fast Ferry, the journey on the boat is 45 minutes each way with great views, followed by the scenic drive to the Chilkat River. That would be a full tour in itself but that is where you boarded the raft and headed off into the wilderness with me. We saw plenty of bald eagles that day as they are fishing along the Chilkat River. We don't emphasize the bear viewing on the rafting tour- the main idea is to get out in the wilderness away from the road. For those who really hope to see bear we recommend our Chilkoot Wildife and Nature tour. That rour has pretty good odds of seeing brown bear along the road in August and September.
