Bear & Eagle Quest from Skagway

Experience a quintessential Alaska adventure with the chance to view brown bears feeding along the Chilkoot River during the evening salmon run in Haines. Offered only in August and September, this rare opportunity coincides with one of nature’s most dramatic events. Travel by high-speed ferry through North America’s deepest fjord, keeping an eye out for marine life along the way. In Haines, join naturalists for an evening tour through the Chilkoot River Valley, a centuries-old fishing site for the Tlingit people and home to generations of bears, bald eagles, and spawning salmon. As the sun sets, bears may emerge from the forest to forage, providing an extraordinary view of Alaska’s food chain in action. From the comfort of your bus, witness bears fishing while eagles and ravens soar overhead. Spotting scopes enhance the experience, and guides share stories of life in this authentic Alaska town before returning through historic Fort Seward before your return ferry to Skagway.
