Wilderness Odyssey By Jet Boat

OVERVIEW

Take a meandering riverboat cruise along the Chilkat River to look for iconic Alaskan wildlife. You will venture to the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, home to an abundance of bald eagles and other indigenous wildlife such as moose and brown bears. To maximize your chances of seeing these magnificent creatures, you will cruise in a flat-bottom boat specially designed to negotiate the shallow, silt-laden waters of the river’s remote channels. The boat is equipped with an eco-friendly motor that allows the guide to hold its position against the current for the very best photo opportunities. You will also be afforded an ideal perspective to shoot pictures of the natural environment, as you will be surrounded by towering mountains, thundering waterfalls and hanging glaciers.
