This is one of the shortest excursions in Haines, perfect for travelers who want a quick wildlife fix before exploring town on foot. The vessel has covered seating and a head. Walking is essentially zero. Ideal for families with young children, seniors, and anyone who wants guaranteed marine wildlife viewing in a compact timeframe.
