Haines vs. Train/Yukon Kayaking
Has anyone gone kayaking in Haines? How was the wildlife? Any bear sightings?
Alternative is taking White Pass train to Fraser BC and going kayaking there. Doesn't seem as if there's as much wildlife, and Haines excursion is much less.

Do not count on any wildlife out of Haines, very rare except for some eagles.
You need to determine, WHERE this kayaking is??? I have only seen rafts on the river (that I recall??) and the kayaks were on the lake- which isn't that unique, in my opinion.

Thanks, BQ! The Haines private trip offers 1 hr bike ride along Chilkoot river to Chilkoot lake, then 1 hr kayak on lake. Would love to hear your opinion.
