Join Jeff Corwin, Princess Cruises' Nature & Adventure Ambassador on a motorized boat tour deep into the heart of the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve for a true wilderness experience. Eagles, moose and bear are often sighted for a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity. Visit the American Bald Eagle Foundation to learn about the area's prevalent majestic raptors. Jeff will share stories and his knowledge and passion for wildlife during the trip. This exclusive and unique wilderness tour provides the opportunity to visit two ports in one day. Your tour begins as you board a high-speed catamaran for a scenic cruise along North America's longest and deepest fjord to Haines. Upon arrival, meet birds of prey during a visit to the American Bald Eagle Foundation, dedicated to the protection and preservation of the bald eagle's habitat through its educational and research activities. Enjoy an overview of North American raptors such as bald eagles, owls, hawks, and falcons. As a special treat, Jeff will don a glove to handle and discuss one of these noble creatures. Then, enjoy a bus ride along the Haines Scenic Byway for a narrated and informative journey en route to the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. Where the road ends, your adventure begins. Meet your captain and board a specially designed flat-bottomed vessel to cruise miles of scenic channels of the Chilkat River. Eagles, moose and bears are often spotted along the riverbank, making this a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity. The peace and quiet will capture your soul and give you a new appreciation for the vast wilderness of Alaska and the people who call it home. A meal is provided and at the conclusion relax on the cruise back to Skagway.
