Q&A
A: Definitely dress in layers! The weather can change quickly in Alaska, so I'd recommend a waterproof jacket, comfortable pants, and sturdy shoes. Don't forget a hat and sunglasses, especially if you're going in the summer! It can get sunny out there even if it's chilly.
A: Yes! Kids are allowed, but they should be at least 6 years old. This is a pretty family-friendly trip since there’s no whitewater, just a scenic float. It’s perfect for introducing kids to wildlife watching and nature experiences!
A: There’s plenty of parking in Skagway, but it can fill up fast during cruise season. The tour offers a port pick-up, so if you're coming in on a cruise, you can just hop on the shuttle. If you drive, just arrive a bit early to find a good spot!

Just did the Chilkat Bald Eagle rafting trip—amazing experience!
I went on the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve rafting tour last week and it was just unforgettable! The catamaran ride from Skagway to Haines was super smooth, and once we hit the preserve, the eagles were everywhere! Our guide was really knowledgeable and made the lunch (turkey sandwich, yum!) even better. If you're thinking about gifting this, it's a hit for nature lovers. Just be ready for some serious bird-watching!
Considering gifting the Chilkat rafting tour, need some advice!
Hey everyone! I'm looking at gifting the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve rafting experience to my brother who loves wildlife photography. Has anyone done this? I want to make sure it’s worth it for a photographer. How’s the scenery really? Any tips on the best time to go?
