Renowned naturalists, magnificent wildlife and breathtaking photo opportunities await you on a motorcoach journey 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, river otters and salmon. Inquisitive visitors, bird watchers and photographers are fascinated by the profusion of migratory and resident birds. Powerful spotting scopes afford close-range views of mountain goats in alpine meadows, bears along the river and nesting eagles.
Colorful harlequin ducks, marbled murrelets, loons, surf scoters, seals, sea lions, porpoise and whales are other seasonal highlights. Experience the living tapestry within the rainforest during a refreshing walk beneath magnificent trees and through ancient muskeg. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the wildlife of Haines.
In late July, when spawning salmon offer a greater chance to spot bears, we take advantage of the long Alaska twilight on a later departure of this tour called:
EVENING WILDLIFE EXPEDITION
Naturalists take you to the sheltered valley of the Chilkoot River, for centuries a favorite fishing site for the Tlingit people and brown bears. As the sun slowly sets, bears descend on the river, leaving the cover of the forest to forage along the grassy banks. Spotting scopes bring the action up close. From the protection of your bus, see the food chain in action as thousands of salmon swim past hungry bruins. This unique evening wildlife viewing opportunity has limited capacity.
SPECIAL NOTES
Bear sightings are not guaranteed. Seasonal wildlife updates are posted at the onboard Tour Office. This tour is only available on the Sea Princess voyages departing 7/3/09 and 7/23/09.
Unaccompanied Minor Policy: Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
