Haines Shore Excursions by Locals
We are a local Alaska company that aims to bring you the best tours and experiences that Haines has to offer. When you buy Haines shore excursions on your own, instead of through a cruise ship, we can offer you wholesale, local Alaska prices. Our goal is to make your Alaskan cruise the trip of a lifetime!
Nestled in the heart of the Lynn Canal, Haines is a small town of around 2000 residents that greets thousands of cruise ship passengers every season. Haines is surrounded by the Chilkat and Chilkoot Inlets to the east and west, and it's also home to the 52 mile long glacially fed Chilkat River. Along the river is the 49,000 acre Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, which houses the world's largest concentration of bald eagles! Because of its remoteness and proximity to the Alaskan wilderness, Haines is an excellent location for wildlife and nature focused tours. Haines is also a short ferry ride from the port town of Skagway if you're interested in booking an excursion there (make sure to reserve your return ferry ride too).
“This is a wonderful tour. Karla was very informative of the area and respectful of the bears and their space. We had already been in the downtown area so it was extra nice to leave there and embark on more of the lakes/rivers/creeks surrounding Haines. Thank you!”
Kathy H for the Haines Chilkoot Lake Wildlife Viewing Tour
“The weather makes all the difference and we lucked out with a beautiful, sunshine-filled day. We saw several eagles and got a few great camera shots. The guides were excellent, informed and great story-tellers.”
Cindy C for the Haines Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve Rafting Tour
“The kayak adventure on Lake Chilkoot was absolutely amazing! We saw bears and eagles on the adventure, which made it even greater! Chloe and Evvie did a wonderful job guiding us and were a wealth of information for Haines history. I would recommend this for the views alone!"
Rachel P for the Haines Wilderness Kayak Adventure
You can often find bald eagles, harbor seals, and brown bears along our Haines tours. In August, pink salmon begin their run of the Cholkoot River to spawn. Our wildlife kayaking tour is popular among guests.
