Departing from Haines or Skagway
The trip begins with a 45-minute catamaran ride along the steep-walled fjords connecting Skagway to Haines. Over a dozen unnamed waterfalls drop hundreds of feet from the cliffsides on both sides of the boat. Learn about Tlingit culture, marvel at the scenery and look for humpback whales, harbor seals, and a variety of seabirds.
Once in Haines, meet up with one of our local guides who are experts in the history, culture, and natural history of the Haines area. Join us for a visit to some of Haines’ best natural, cultural and historical hotspots. Stops may include the following:
- Fort William H Seward, the first army base in Alaska
- The Sheldon Museum, a hub of art, artifacts and memorabilia highlighting the diverse cultures within the Chilkat Valley
- The Hammer Museum, where you’ll meet founder Dave Pahl, the leading expert in hammers (and quite a character!)
- Alaska Indian Arts, a local non-profit center where Native totem poles, masks and jewelry are created
- Extreme Dreams Art Gallery, owned by artists John Svenson, a painter and zany mountain climber, and Sharon Svenson, a talented weaver
- Letnikof Cove Cannery, a picturesque red building set against the mountain peaks. The cannery is the oldest running business in Haines
- the Alaska State Parks, where you’ll find eagles, salmon, incredible glacial views and, during the fall, even a bear or two!
We can put together a custom sightseeing tour specifically designed to highlight your interests.
