Chilkat Guides, Ltd. was the vision of Bart Henderson, who began providing expedition tours along the Tatshenshini River in 1978. Since then, the company’s offerings have expanded to sites along the nearby Alsek and Kongakut Rivers. Expedition-style excursions last between 10 and 13 days and offer camping, hiking, glacier exploring, and wildlife watching experiences. Daily floats are also available, showcasing the flora and fauna of the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. All excursion guides are highly trained and provide insider information about the regions they explore, with all excursions exceeding safety standards. Food is provided for excursions, with dietary accommodations available upon request.
