There is nice scenery if the weather it good (they can't guarantee the weather either). Our weather was good, but initially we didn't see much wildlife. Nice scenery, pretty mountains. We saw a few birds, including trumpeter swans. On the way back to the dock we got lucky. Bears. A mama brown bear and her juvenile cub. The boat stopped and we lingered for several minutes watching them interact. It was great. As I said, they can't guarantee that. But if you do get to see the bears it's truly magical. And watching them from the safety of the boat is really the only way to do it.

He decided to take a different course than the others so that we might have a chance to see a bear snacking on some salmon. It took a bit of waiting, but we most surely did see a bear not too far from us (about 50 feet). It was an amazing experience getting to be able to see the whole thing up close while snapping some great pictures. The tours provides you with some really good binoculars which brought everything closer and crystal clear. Snacks and beverages were provided. If you're in Haines and not finding much to do, because let's face it it's not that big of a place head down and take a lake tour!

SCENIC TRAIN RIDE! 4.8…read more The construction of this 110-mile narrow-gauge railroad began in May 1898 to help gold prospectors traverse the treacherous mountain terrain. Construction began in Skagway and, remarkably, the route to Whitehorse, Yukon, was completed in July 1900. Once our cruise ship docked, we headed directly to the White Pass station, selected a boarding time, and purchased our train tickets. Tickets can also be purchased online if you want to guarantee your preferred departure time. As we boarded, we chose seats on the left side of the train, which offered the more scenic views. However, don't worry if you sit on the opposite side; on the return journey, you'll have an entirely different perspective, so you won't miss out on the breathtaking scenery. The landscape is spectacular from beginning to end. From the gradual ascent at the start, winding alongside riverbeds and dramatic gorges, past cascading waterfalls and across historic wooden bridges, the scenery becomes increasingly impressive as the train makes its steep 3,000-foot climb toward the summit. The round-trip journey takes just under three hours. It may sound like a long ride, but the time passes quickly. Along the way, our train attendant provided a fascinating and vivid narration of what life was like during the Klondike Gold Rush, while pointing out significant landmarks, historical details, and intriguing sights along the route. There are restrooms aboard, and you're welcome to stand up and stretch your legs whenever you like. We especially enjoyed stepping out of our train car onto the open-air platform between the cars. Feeling the crisp mountain air rush around us was incredibly invigorating and made the experience even more memorable. Although we were fortunate to experience the journey on a nice and sunny day, it wasn't until I became a passenger on the White Pass & Yukon Route that I could truly appreciate the formidable challenges faced by the gold miners. Looking out at the rugged mountains, sheer cliffs, and unforgiving terrain, it was easy to imagine how daunting this landscape must have been, especially during the brutal winter months. If you love breathtaking mountain scenery combined with a fascinating glimpse into Klondike Gold Rush history, this is a wonderful excursion to experience. It's not just a train ride; it's a beautiful journey through history and some truly spectacular wilderness.

Built during the Klondike Gold Rush to support the miners attempting to strike gold. I purchased the tickets directly from the website rather than Celebrity shore excursions. It was under 10 minutes from the pier to the ticket office where we redeemed our order confirmation for train tickets. We boarded the 8am train. We sat on the left side of the train but were told both sides offered nice views. Upon our return the area was swarming with more passengers.

While the tour could accommodate up to 10, we had the good luck to be the only two! This allowed us flexibility to see many areas of Haines we might otherwise not get to. Nicholas was a fantastic guide. He started by asking questions about what we might like to photograph and see. I always learn something new and this time was no exception. I took well over 100 photos and the time flew by; before we knew it, we were headed back to the ferry. The only hitch was the return to our RV park. We were given vouchers for the city bus but it only took us left than halfway back. Not a problem, it just would have been nice to know (we would have walked the entire way and not waited 15 minutes for the bus)

We stopped for whales and other wildlife along the way (a young humpback whale even came up between the pontoons of the catamaran). In retrospect, I would have done this trip with the available overnight stay in Juneau. Four hours isn't a lot of time in Juneau, especially if you take the bus to Mendenhall Glacier. I scarcely had time to buy lunch and a coffee in Juneau before meeting the bus for the 15-minute trip back to the small boat harbor. The snacks served on board were delicious (blueberry muffin in the morning, and salmon chowder, sourdough bread, and a cookie in the afternoon.
