(25 Reviews )

Duration

4 hours

Overview

Be entertained with tales of the culture, natural history, and life in rural Alaska as you make your way to the private property of Chilkat River Adventures. You'll be outfitted with warm outerwear, then board a river boat for a journey through the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. Cruise along miles of tributaries of the stunning, glacially carved, braided Chilkat River system. The boat is powered by four stroke outboard jet motors and is uncovered for the best wildlife, scenery, and photography opportunities. Moose are often the highlight of the tour along with bald eagles with their massive nests dotted along the river banks. If you encounter a moose, bear or any other wildlife, make sure you notify your captain to get your Alaska photo of a lifetime! Leave with a meal and head back towards Haines to view live raptors and shop for some memorabilia from the gift shop at the American Bald Eagle Foundation. Leave with a new appreciation of Alaska's Wilderness and those who call it home.
