Haines Shore Excursions

Rid­ing or dri­ving an ATV on a remote 15-mile trail just out­side of pic­turesque Haines is an exhil­a­rat­ing way to kick your Alas­ka adven­ture into high gear. After a scenic fer­ry ride and a bus ride through the Chilkat Bald Eagle Pre­serve, hop on a side-by-side util­i­ty vehi­cle that han­dles rugged road with ease. Cau­tion: Stun­ning views ahead!

These tours out of Haines offer an up-close nature expe­ri­ence with insights from knowl­edge­able local guides. There are two options. The first tour is a wildlife tour that focus­es on find­ing and learn­ing about wildlife. The sec­ond one is a pho­tog­ra­phy tour where you take pic­tures to share back at home, and get the chance to enhance your pho­tog­ra­phy skills — just when you can ben­e­fit from it most.

Con­quer an Alaskan moun­tain just out­side Skag­way, regard­less of your pre­vi­ous expe­ri­ence! Climb a gran­ite wall, rap­pel down 75 feet, and zipline through a canopy of trees. Enthu­si­as­tic guides will soothe your nerves with corny jokes while pro­vid­ing the encour­age­ment you need to climb to new heights.

With bald eagles, bears, and gor­geous scenery, these tours out of Haines are soft adven­ture at their best: You don’t have to have any pre­vi­ous expe­ri­ence to enjoy these kayak­ing and raft­ing tours, but you’ll get the up-close expe­ri­ence of a vet­er­an adventurer.
