They’re a mesmerizing way to watch Alaskan animals in the wild, while also experiencing the most gorgeous landscapes. These tours offer great value for money too, with trips generally lasting a full day. Take a look at the well-rated tours we offer and try to choose your favorite - we know it won’t be easy!  

Perhaps the Chilkoot Canoe Wildlife Safari will appeal to you. This is a tour where you can experience the peace and quiet of paddling a canoe in the wide-open Alaskan wilderness. Catch the fast ferry from Skagway to Haines ready to begin your wildlife adventure, before spotting whales and seals at the Lynn Canal, North America’s deepest fjord. Then, move on to stunning Chilkoot Lake where - as well as taking in your jaw-droppingly beautiful surroundings - you should keep your eyes peeled for sightings of black bears as they hunt in the salmon-rich waters.   

On the Wildlife Safari and Bear Viewing tour, take in the Chilkoot River, a waterway that’s bursting with spawning salmon. Watch in awe as the hungry brown bears hunt their prey,  plunging their face into the water or scooping salmon directly with their paws. It’s a fascinating sight that’s made even better by all the other wildlife spotting opportunities - you might also see mountain goats, bald eagles, and river otters. 

You can enjoy our Skagway wildlife tours knowing they offer the chance to see native Alaskan wildlife in a responsible and low-impact way. Contact our team of agents if you have any questions, or would like help choosing the best excursion for you and your family.
