Absolutely incredible experience we won’t forget, great and skilled guides, lost count of how many eagles we saw!
I would absolutely love to do this again.
My only criticism and the reason for not giving 5 stars is because the meeting point was moved and nobody told us. We were waiting at the listed meeting point and if we hadn’t tried our luck and asked around because no one had shown, we may have missed the trip altogether.

You cancelled this on us so we never went don’t understand why you are sending this to us. You said our ship wouldn’t be there on time.

Great narrative by our guides on the way to launching our rafts which provided a great backdrop for our float. Very able guides worked together and enhanced our excursion. The alluvial river gave a unique experience for a rafting adventure. We saw 35 bald eagles along the way, with many of them in pairs.

This trip into the wilderness and raft ride was a delight.
Friendly team made you feel safe.
Would recommend.

Liam was our bus transfer guide and did a wonderful job giving us Alaska information during our ride to the Chilcat Bald Eagle Preserve. Once we left the bus, we were each given good rubber boots and had our life jackets individually fitted. Our Zodiak guide/oarsman was Livvie. She was super! She had a marvelous depth of knowledge, and was great at safely managing our Zodiak as we floated on the fast-moving Chilkat waters. We enjoyed our riverside lunch at the conclusion of our adventure. We saw 6 wild eagles during our trip. My sister and I could not be happier with our experience with this tour company!
