Excursion Wilderness kayak adventure tour at Haines

Mild weather and a variety of wildlife make Haines an ideal location for kayaking during this adventure.

Greeted on the pier by your skilled guide, a short transfer takes you to the kayak site. Before driving to the Chilkoot Lake area, your guide provides a narrated tour of Fort Seward and the town.

Your guide tailors your paddling trip to the destination where weather and wildlife trends are most favorable. Following a safety briefing and the issuance of equipment, you 'put-in' and begin your voyage.

Kayak Adventure

You will quickly become at ease in your fast and stable fiber glass kayak. The two hours you spend on the lake offers the best opportunity to get the chance to see wildlife from this unique perspective.

Board your vehicle to return to the town of Haines. You will stop at a private, beach-side picnic location to enjoy a picnic-style lunch before returning to your ship.
