Haines

Welcome to Haines

Go north to the authentic Alaska and explore the Inside Passage town of Haines tucked into Alaska’s fiord country on the Chilkoot Inlet. Unspoiled nature, inspiring scenery, and abundant wildlife have made Haines a destination that attracts lovers of the outdoors. The historic Fort Seward U.S. Army base draws many visitors. Water adventures are popular, and visitors can choose to float through the nearby Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve or travel the fiords by sea kayak or canoe. Getting into the backcountry that lies just outside the town nearly guarantees wildlife sightings, with hikes, ATV tours, and photography safaris being seasonal favorites.

Awesome guides- Nice Float Tour!
Ian was informative and gave vivid and hilarious stories about the tiny town of Haines. Jayke was our float tour guide and paddled our 7 person float down the Chilkoot River. He answered our questions and made us feel comfortable and safe. We may have seen a few eagles, but spent a good bit of the time trying to hold on to the sides of our raft. Lunch was tasty, and overall the tour was great!

Fabulous tour with a small group & a great guide
Small group, great guide, experience exceeded my expectations. Our guide , Nicholas, had a spotting scope and he helped us take photos of an eagle by aligning our phones with the scope. Another highlight was a visit to a totem pole carving studio where 2 apprentice artists were working on totem poles.

A wonderful day in Haines with Tom G
After not getting to see anything in Haines on a trip over 25 years ago, we finally got the chance to come back and wanted to do things right. Tom seemed like the perfect guide to help us and he was. Very knowledgeable and loved his photography setup tips. It was our most favorite stop on a 12-day Alaska/Canada cruise.

Great Spirits Tour
We had a really great time. Loren is very knowledgeable about the distillery process as well as the Haines community. She is so friendly and nice, and accommodated our pace and interests. The three tasting places were interesting and different, so we had a great time tasting flights at the distillery and the mead winery, and the root beer and lager at the brewery. Loren was great explaining the historical sites along our walking tour route. This was a great fun experience. We loved it.

This tour allows much flexibility for the group in that you can request to see particular things. The experience was exceptional as we gained much knowledge of Haines. While visiting drinking establishments, tasting is on your own dime, there is however no pressure to taste. But we are glad we did. Had a great day!

Chilkoot Lake Kayaking-Tranquility with bear/whales and seals as additional side attractions
We did this kayak trip as an independent excursion while cruising on the Royal Princess and I would recommend this to anyone who likes to be outside and away from the crowds and be on the water. Getting onto the ferry to Haines from the cruise dock was easy and the ferry ride to and from Haines to Skagway was gorgeous. The fast ferry felt like its own excursion. The naturalist on the ferry was educational and helped us spot wildlife and water falls. It was a short van ride to Chilkoot Lake from the ferry dock in Haines and then we were quickly on the water. Our group was just our family and Joe and although there were two other groups on the lake it felt like we had the lake entirely to ourselves. Joe coached my teenage son on using more advanced kayak strokes and this was his favorite excursion of the entire trip. The lake is surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, bird song--it was very peaceful and tranquil. On the way back to the ferry dock in we spotted an Alaskan Brown Bear and were able to watch the salmon count on the fishing weir. Thanks Joe for a great morning!

Best excursion during our 9 Day Alaskan Cruise. Katt was an exceptional tour guide. Her knowledge and passion made the 4 hours just fly by. We didn’t want it to end. Besides bald eagles, we saw a black bear enjoying a field of dandelions, a brown bear quite up close and personal (no need to get off the bus), and some mountain goats.

We had a great experience with SEAK Expeditions in June. The guides were professional and gave us a great Alaska experience. We had great views of the lake and saw bald eagles as well as recent beaver activity. The great weather helped.
