Herring Cove is de beste plek waar we naartoe kunnen rijden om wilde dieren te spotten. Beren komen daar veel voor, vooral in het paaiseizoen voor zalm (half juli tot eind september) Voor vragen kunt u bellen met 9078218383 Amerikaanse zeearenden zijn daar heel gewoon van mei tot augustus. Er zijn veel verschillende vogelsoorten die je soms kunt spotten, waaronder ijsvogels, blauwe reigers, stellers blauwe gaaien en raven. andere mogelijke dieren in het wild zijn zeehonden, zalm, Sitka blacktail-herten en otters.
We maken deze stop alleen tijdens het paaiseizoen van de zalm, en je kunt de zalm de stroomversnellingen zien opspringen en de ladder opzwemmen. Klantenservice: 9078218383
Het Totem Heritage Centre, opgericht in 1976, bevat verbazingwekkende kunst en meer dan 200 jaar oude totempalen. Het Totem Heritage Centre bewaart de kunst van de Tlingit-, Haida- en Tsimshian-volkeren. Het centrum herbergt bedreigde 19e-eeuwse totempalen die zijn opgehaald uit onbewoonde dorpen in Tlingit en Haida. Het centrum bevat 33 authentieke palen, talrijke historische artefacten en inheemse kunstwerken.
We rijden door een Tlingit-stad, bekend als Saxman. We passeren totems, een clanhuis en een totemhouwcentrum.

Our tour guide, Tucker, was absolutely incredible! He was so friendly and tracked down an unforgettable black bear sighting for us. We got incredibly lucky and saw a mother bear with her two cubs, plus an awesome male bear catching wild salmon right before our eyes!
Tucker was awesome-shared a lot of information with us about the area and the local people and we ended up being a very small group...no cattle car feeling. 100% recommend!!
Tiffany was fantastic. This small group tour is worth every penny. We got to see eagles, black bears, black bears eating salmon, the salmon ladder, a waterfall, a totem heritage museum; could not have asked for more.
Very knowledgeable guide. Saw a bear briefly but he was catching salmon. The salmon ladders were amazing and all the salmon in the water trying to get upstream, an unbelievable sight. The waterfall from melted snow and the drop in temp nearby. It all was enjoyable. If you get the chance go you won't regret it
This excursion was not worth the cost. The guide was not informative or friendly. No over view of what the tour entailed. During the drive between stops he provided no information. Dead silence with the exception of the radio. There was an elderly woman in the group and the company provided no stool to get in and out of the van. The guide did not assistance or even ask if any individuals needed help. The tour was to include a stop at the beach. The guide stated on the way that we could not stop there because only locals can go on the weekend. He stated he would get fined if we stopped. Guides play a critical role in the success of the tour and this guide definitely missed the mark and did not do it justice.
Very good tour. And kind guide. However, it was very hard to understand him in the vehicle, as his base voice was extremely low and he was speaking very quickly. His microphone we felt was too close to his mouth. However, at the stops we made we had very good conversations with him, and he explained about salmon migration and their spawning very well. Even showing eggs prior to fertilization and after. We did not see a bear, but not without his many efforts to find one. A very good tour.
Tucker did a great job trying to fit in as much as he could. but we had already been to some of the places he was planning on taking us. He was extremely flexible and really tried to show us as much as he could. He was very knowledgeable about the area, and we saw star fish, jelly fish, sea anemones, bald eagles, different types of birds, ate salmon berries. No bears unfortunately.
PJ picked us up exactly as planned. The van was very clean and comfortable. We went straight to the bear watching area and saw 4 bears right away. We stayed there until the bears finally vanished from view. PJ then took us to a waterfall and to see the totems. We concluded at top of salmon ladder. PJ was bright, well informed, exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend
Straight forward with no problems A good guide tried hard to find is wildlife. Saw mother bear and cubs, eagles and eagle nest
Wow! Spectacular from start to finish. Tucker was the host with the most! Stop at Herring Cove where we missed a bear sighting by 15 minutes but saw 15-20 eagles fighting over fish! Saw waterfall and ate native berries right off the bush. Went to a beach where there were tide pools and held moon jellyfish, tiny crabs and saw starfish. Then to the Totem Heritage Center which was rich in history and very interesting. Finally he dropped off both parties where they wanted to go! Oh and did I mention snacks? Next time, I’ll time it better to see bear. It was an unusually hot & sunny week! Great guy & guide!
