View Alaska's magnificent wildlife with breathtaking photo opportunities as you travel with engaging naturalists through the Valley of the Eagles. Nestled between rugged glaciers and snowcapped mountains, the fertile Chilkoot Valley is home to generations of brown bears, bald eagles, mountain goats, harbor seals, spawning salmon and numerous birds.
Powerful spotting scopes provide a chance of close-up views of mountain goats in high alpine meadows, bears along the riverbanks, and bald eagles in active nests. Take photos through the scopes with your small digital camera, smartphone or tablet. Colorful harlequin ducks, marbled murrelets, loons, surf scooters, porpoises, seals and whales are among the seasonal wildlife highlights.
On the shore of a picturesque lake, experience the living tapestry within the rainforest on a refreshing nature walk beneath magnificent trees and across ancient muskeg.
Your tour concludes with a panoramic drive through Haines and historic Fort Seward before returning to the ship.
Guests wishing to stay in town to shop or explore independently are welcome to do so but must make their own way back to the ship.
Please note: Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed. Dress warmly in layered clothing with gloves, a scarf, and a hat; outer layer should be windproof and waterproof.
