Itinerary
Day 1: Begin your adventure with a scenic flight from Juneau to Haines. Following a brief orientation and a luggage drop-off, you’ll explore the historic riverside community of Klukwan. Afterward, embark on a mild, whitewater-free rafting experience in the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, where eagles are plentiful – don’t forget your cameras and binoculars. Lunch will be served riverside, and all the necessary rafting equipment, including boots, lifejackets, and rain gear, will be provided. Return to your in-town lodging in time for a relaxing catered dinner or dine out.
Night 1: Enjoy the endless sunset from your luxurious seaside apartment, conveniently within walking distance of restaurants and shopping. Dinner can be catered or at your leisure.
Day 2: Get an early start for your sea kayaking adventure. Begin your day with a quick stop at the coffee shop, then don dry suits and join your guide for a kayak lesson and a paddle along the ocean or lake. Keep an eye out for bears and eagles as they search for fresh sockeye salmon along the shoreline. Following a shoreside picnic, return to town for an afternoon of exploration on your own. If desired, additional excursions like flightseeing or guided hiking can be arranged.
Night 2: Take advantage of the extended daylight and wander downtown for a local brew and some of the finest wood-fired pizza in Alaska.
Day 3: Prepare for another full day of adventure. Pack your gear and savor a hearty local breakfast before donning chest waders for an exhilarating morning of fly fishing in the turquoise waters of the Chilkoot River. Following a lakeside picnic, change back into street clothes and head to the airport for an unforgettable flight back to Juneau.
