Quick Details
Discover the thrill of skimming in a jet boat over an expanse of ocean just a few feet deep. Wrangell is known as the”Gateway to the Stikine,” here salt water meets glacial runoff and carves ever-changing tidal sandbars into the 17 mile wide river delta.
Once reaching the river’s mouth your captain will maneuver the river’s channels and weave through small sloughs to increase your odds of viewing moose, black and brown bear, mountain goats, Sitka black tail deer and nesting bald eagles.
Your Alaska Waters guide team will share the Alaskan Native and Klondike Gold Rush era history of this unique and still truly wild transboundary river.
You’ll explore approximately 70 miles of this untouched, pristine wilderness area on the way to Shakes Glacier. Note that Shakes Lake is occasionally filled with icebergs that may restrict access to the face of the glacier.
Located in the heart of Tongass National Rain Forest, the Stikine River is an incredible wilderness area with vast amounts of wildlife. Book now to enjoy a fully guided Alaskan wilderness adventure of the Stikine LeConte Wilderness area in one of our covered, heated jet boats.
