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!
