Chilkoot Wilderness and Wildlife Viewing - Wyjazd Skagway

Przegląd
Leave the crowds of Skagway behind and visit Chilkoot Lake State Park in Haines.

Your tour begins with a high-speed catamaran ride along the steep-walled fjords which connect Skagway to Haines. Over a dozen unnamed waterfalls drop hundreds of feet from both sides of the boat. Upon arrival in Haines, you will meet your knowledgeable guide for a drive to Chilkoot Lake State Park.

This park has it all: a turquoise lake surrounded by snowy mountain peaks, a salmon-filled river flowing into the sea, and important Tlingit cultural sights. Bald eagles, harbor seals, and brown bears are often seen here.

Wraz ze wzrostem liczby łososi w rzece wzrasta prawdopodobieństwo zobaczenia niedźwiedzi wzdłuż rzeki, z dużym prawdopodobieństwem obserwacji niedźwiedzi od początku sierpnia do końca września.

We enjoyed our guide Kate she was knowledgeable and kind. It was a bit too much in the van. I would have liked to chase more animals.

Thanks for your kind review of our tour. Kate is a great guide. Just for your information, we never "chase" animals. We follow ethical wildlife viewing protocols. This means that our goal is to watch wildlife without changing their behavior in any way. We do spend time looking for wildlife and this often involves driving around in our van. If we find wildlife, then we get out and spend as much time as possible to safely and ethically watch and interpret their behavior. The best wildlife viewing area is only seven miles from town so we usually don't have to spend too much time in our vehicle. But if we don't find anything and choose to look at another location, driving is required. There are limited roads in the Haines area.

This was a not an accurately described excursion experience. It was advertised as a “wildlife” experience with pictures of bears and wildlife alongside the description. As soon as we met our guide, he told us we had less than a 10% chance of seeing any wildlife. Instead,, we had scenic photo opportunities of lakes and channels and we learned about fauna. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. However, it was not at all what we expected and most of us on the tour felt misled .I cold not recommend this tour.

Thanks for advising us about your feeling about our tour description. Your guide advised you that there was a low chance of seeing bear, but not that there was a low chance of seeing any wildlife. Bald eagles, harbor seals, common mergansers, surf scoters, and other wildlife are often see on these tours. It is true that we have a photo of a bear on our advertising, but we clearly say in the tour description that the odds of seeing brown bear are low until the pink salmon run begins in August. Even then, we never guarantee bear nor other wildlife. Along those lines, let me share with you my experience regarding the odds of seeing bear along the Chilkoot River. This comes from having lived and guided here for over thirty years. Before August 1st, the odds of seeing bear are low. We do see them alongside the road eating vegetation, and a few come in during the early summer to feed on the sockeye salmon run, but the odds are low. By August, when the pink salmon begin to run, I estimate a 50 percent chance of seeing bear. Even with that being said, years ending in odd numbers (like 2023) compared to years ending in even numbers (like 2024) have higher chances of seeing bear because the pink salmon runs are on a two year cycle. The odds keep increasing throughout the month of August as the pink salmon runs get stronger. By September, the odds of seeing a bear are over eighty percent, and by mid-September, they are close to 90 percent. We never say 100 percent chance of seeing brown bear because there are many variables, including the amount of water in the river. High water decreases the chance of seeing bear because it is difficult for them to catch the salmon. I am glad you mentioned our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. While I cannot control the wildlife sightings, I do have control over hiring and training of our guides. Hopefully, the value of the tour is found in the quality of the information and service provided. If you or anyone else are interested in guaranteed bear sightings, this is not the tour to buy. We will look into revising our advertising of this tour so that guests like you do not feel misled.

Our guide David was amazing. His knowledge of the area, history and sites was unbelievable. He could tell you about everything there. He also a avid photographer and knows where the best place to photograph are. We were there in June, but if you go in July you have a better chance of seeing bears as the salmon are running.

Thanks for your kind comments about our guide, David. He is a font of knowledge and he enthusiastically shares it with our guests. Since David is a professional photographer, he can give photo tips in addition to sharing his knowledge of natural history. In the interest of providing accurate information, I would say that July is still early for reliable bear viewing in Haines. August and September would be best months, the pink salmon run that attracts the bear starts in early August and peaks in September. It would be great to have you join us again.
