Description
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
A motorized boat tour deep into the heart of the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve offers a true wilderness experience and the ability to visit two ports in one day. Your tour begins as you board a high-speed catamaran for a scenic cruise along North America's longest and deepest fjord to Haines. Upon arrival, enjoy a bus ride along the Haines Scenic Byway for a narrated and informative journey en route to the preserve. Where the road ends, your adventure begins. Meet your captain and board a specially designed flat-bottomed vessel to cruise miles of scenic channels of the Chilkat River. Eagles, moose and bears are often spotted along the riverbank, making this a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity. The peace and quiet will capture your soul and give you a new appreciation for the vast wilderness of Alaska and the people who call it home. A meal is provided.
