Your tour begins as you board your motorcoach for a scenic, narrated drive through historic Fort William H. Seward, the first U.S. Army outpost in Alaska and a National Historic Site.

Continue on to a Picture Point, which boasts phenomenal views of Haines, Portage Cove and the Lynn Canal. Set against the backdrop of the 6,000-foot-tall Chilkat Mountain Range, this panoramic shot of your ship and the quaint town will make a jaw-dropping memento of your trip.

Then, you'll travel to the American Bald Eagle Foundation and Raptor Center, an interpretive wildlife display and education center, and learn about these majestic birds and other birds of prey and experience a live presentation with on of the resident ambassador raptors.

Resume your drive north of town along the Lutak Inlet, where glaciers, towering peaks, rivers, and the sea all converge in amazing scenery. Venture into the Chilkoot River Corridor, home to a large population of bears and other wildlife due to the large sockeye salmon run that goes up the river and into Chilkoot Lake. As you drive along the river, pass a fish weir where the Alaska Department of Fish & Game counts each salmon that runs up stream. Your guide will explain the importance of this system and you will get to see the current season count. Stop at scenic Chilkoot Lake for a photo opportunity and chance to use the restroom.

Enjoy a relaxing drive back to town and a private beachside location for a snack of smoked salmon cream cheese, crackers, cookies, and hot beverages. Following the snack, the motor coach will return you to your ship.
