Great Float on the Chilcat Bald Eagle Preserve Float Tour!
Betsy G, Jun 2019
Liam was our bus transfer guide and did a wonderful job giving us Alaska information during our ride to the Chilcat Bald Eagle Preserve. Once we left the bus, we were each given good rubber boots and had our life jackets individually fitted. Our Zodiak guide/oarsman was Livvie. She was super! She had a marvelous depth of knowledge, and was great at safely managing our Zodiak as we floated on the fast-moving Chilkat waters. We enjoyed our riverside lunch at the conclusion of our adventure. We saw 6 wild eagles during our trip. My sister and I could not be happier with our experience with this tour company!
