Haines Tidal Pool & Beach Ecology Walk

Explore the rich intertidal zone of Haines with a marine biologist guide who reveals the hidden world of tide pools. Sea stars, anemones, hermit crabs, chitons, and sculpins inhabit these rocky pools, and your guide explains their adaptations and ecological roles. The walk follows the shoreline at low tide, covering about a mile on rocky and sandy beach terrain. Timing depends on tidal conditions, so check with the operator for your port day. Rubber boots or waterproof shoes are essential as you will be walking on wet rocks. The two-hour duration fits easily into a port day. This is an exceptional educational experience for families with children who love marine life, and the hands-on exploration keeps kids engaged. Not ideal for those with balance issues on uneven surfaces.
