Tour guide, Chad, did a great job locating and showing us wildlife, specifically goats and bald eagles. During our drive, he was continuously educating us about the history and topography of the area.

The tour goes to some very beautiful areas outside Haines to search wildlife. We didn’t see much wildlife but we tried! Apparently if we had been there in 2 weeks, we would see bears. We did spot some bald eagles though.

Chad was a great and knowledgeable guide. We had a small group which got along well. We did not see bears but saw a mama moose with two babies, lots of eagles, a harbor seal and numerous other birds. Great time.
