Chilkat River jet-boat adventure in Haines — Adventure things to do in Haines

Two and a half hours on the water—jet-boat trip through Chilkat Eagle Preserve, with opportunities to see wildlife followed by a riverside picnic.

This adventure begins with a 30-minute bus ride along the Haines Scenic Byway, where you'll hear stories about the area's history. The journey then takes you deep into the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve via a specially designed jet boat that can navigate the silt-laden channels of the river. You'll cover around 20 miles into the wilderness, where the region is known for its moose habitat, with some chance of spotting bears as well.

Keep your camera at the ready for any wildlife encounters during your boat ride—while sightings cannot be guaranteed, the likelihood is high. After returning to dock, enjoy a picnic right by the riverside before concluding your trip. Remember to dress appropriately for outdoor conditions.
