Exciting, exhilarating, memorable -- welcome to Expedition Experiences by Seabourn. Zodiac, kayaking or hiking activities enable you to experience the wonders of nature up close; in-depth cultural, ethnographic and archaeological discoveries connect you to the human and natural history of Seabourn's world. Each Expedition is expertly planned, professionally operated, and escorted by skilled expedition staff.
Join this spectacular hiking adventure that immerses you in the remote beauty of Southeast Alaska where you will be surrounded with amazing mountain, glacier, and ocean views. At the start of your tour you will be greeted by your professional hiking guide for a remote hike out on the Chilkat Inlet. We will drive for about 30 minutes along the Haines Peninsula to Chilkat State Park. Once at the trailhead, the hike is over rolling terrain on primarily unimproved trail through temperate rainforest. The hike gains and loses elevation and may be slippery at times especially in rain. Your knowledgeable, naturalist guide will talk about the flora and fauna of the region as we make our way towards Moose Meadows. Once we have made our way through the forest towards the coast, finally we step out onto the beach, where we are treated with magnificent glacier views across the fjord. The total hiking distance is about 3-5 miles depending on the group and weather conditions. The trail is out and back, so depending on the pace of the group, we may continue south along the coast of the peninsula. We will stop along the way for a light picnic lunch with a fantastic view. After lunch, we will return back through Moose Meadows and make our way back to the pier in Haines. The tour duration may vary depending on group ability.
Please Note: The trail rises about 100 feet total in elevation and may be strenuous especially when conditions are wet, muddy and slippery. This tour operates weather permitting although rain does not deter us. Daily Temperatures can vary so we recommend bringing warm layers and a waterproof jacket, waterproof pants and sturdy hiking shoes to make the experience as enjoyable as possible. Bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and binoculars, as well as a backpack and suitable protection for your camera. Minimum age is 6 years old. Guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Bug spray and walking sticks are highly recommended.
