Nature and Wildlife Expedition from Skagway

Discover Haines, the “Valley of the Eagles,” on a guided wildlife and nature adventure. Begin with a scenic ferry ride from Skagway to Haines along North America’s longest fjord, then join naturalists for an expedition through the fertile Chilkoot Valley. Follow the salmon’s journey as you search for brown bears, bald eagles, mountain goats, and other wildlife.
View a fish weir where salmon are counted, then set up spotting scopes at Chilkoot Lake for close-up looks at wildlife—perfect for photography. A refreshing rainforest walk reveals towering trees and an ancient muskeg, adding depth to the diverse ecosystems explored: ocean, estuary, river, lake, muskeg, and rainforest.
Your journey concludes with a narrated drive through historic Fort Seward and downtown Haines before returning to Skagway by ferry.
