Renowned naturalists and an exploration of magnificent wildlife in six ecosystems - ocean, estuary, river, lake, muskeg and rainforest - await in Haines. Your tour begins as your motorcoach follows the route of the fertile Chilkoot River. Nestled between rugged glaciers and snowcapped mountains, this is habitat for brown bears, bald eagles, migratory and resident birds, mountain goats, harbor seals and salmon. You'll drive to Chilkoot Lake, where you'll set up powerful spotting scopes for close-up views of mountain goats, bears and nesting eagles. A walk beneath the canopy of trees and through ancient muskeg invites you experience the living tapestry of the rainforest.
