RIVER ADVENTURES:
|
A jet boat tour deep into the heart of the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve offers a true wilderness experience. Enjoy the scenery in Haines during the narrated drive to the preserve. Where the road ends, your adventure begins as you board a jet boat and cruise miles of scenic tributaries. Your boat is designed for this silt laden river and is the only access to a remote roadless portion of the preserve. The boats are uncovered so you can view and photograph the wildlife unhindered. Wild animals are abundant, however, are wild and we give no guarantee. Bald eagles are accustomed to our boats, so have your cameras ready for once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity. The scenery alone is worth the trip with cascading, hanging glaciers and surrounding soaring mountains.
