About this activity

Simply put, a private rafting excursion is the best possible way to see bald eagles in their natural habitat. Floating through the heart of the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve in Haines Alaska is a must see attraction and you won't want to miss the jaw dropping scenery, delightful guides and genuine Alaskan wildlife.

Watch eagles catching salmon and caring for young eagles in the numerous nests that line the riverbanks. Look for bears, moose, and a host of other wildlife that call the preserve home.

Relax or take pictures as your private guide navigates the narrow channels of the Preserve's glacial fed rivers.

Enjoy a hearty snack and hot drinks at the end of the tour.
