River rafting

Take a transfer to the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. After a safety talk and lifejacket fitting, your river float adventure begins. Float silently downstream on inflatable rafts and spot predators drawn by the salmon: eagles, bears, and maybe even wolves. Admire the preserve’s incredible beauty, including towering mountains, hanging glaciers, and lush forests. After your float, you’ll enjoy a picnic.

*While we're excited to share the unique flavors of this region with you, it’s important to note that allergy awareness and hygiene standards can vary widely across the world. The local community providing food for this tour may not be as familiar with allergy concerns or preparation standards as suppliers in your home country or the expert chefs onboard our ships. As a precaution, we advise anyone with a severe food allergy to contact a member of the onboard Expedition Team before booking this excursion.
