Your tour begins as you board a high-speed catamaran for a scenic cruise through North America's deepest fjord. Watch for whales, seals, and spectacular waterfalls as you cruise Lynn Canal to the picturesque village of Haines.
Board a motorcoach for a beautiful 40-minute drive up the National Scenic Byway. You'll see Haines and historic Fort Seward on this narrated drive. Watch for moose and swans in the marshlands as you head up the Chilkat River Valley.
At the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, experienced guides await to begin your rafting adventure (not white water). You'll float silently down the river aboard an 18-foot inflatable raft — the best way to observe the eagles drawn to feed on the plentiful salmon. Rich in wildlife, the preserve is also a place of incredible beauty with towering mountains, hanging glaciers and lush forests.
After your float, enjoy a riverside picnic.
Your tour concludes with a return cruise aboard the catamaran back to Skagway. With Haines behind you, you'll take with you a wealth of unforgettable memories.
