Bald Eagle Tours
The James River runs through it ... through the City of Richmond. And just minutes downriver is an incredible opportunity to see resident bald eagles in their natural habitat. This 2-hour, pontoon boat tour takes you into the midst of an ecosystem rich with wildlife, abundant in history and beautiful scenery. Discover the James' Bald Eagle Tour take you through a five-mile stretch of the James River known as Jefferson's Reach, encompassing five territories of resident bald eagles.
The tour focuses on the ten resident bald eagles of Jefferson's Reach, who reside there all year long. During the year, two additional populations of bald eagles migrate into the area. In May, a population of summer migratory bald eagles from the south arrive and are gone by September. In mid November, a population called 'winter migratory eagles' arrive from the north and stay into February.
Discover the conservation success story of resident bald eagles on the James River, where less than forty years ago there were none. Today, over 280 pair of resident bald eagles call the James River watershed home making our river the site of the greatest comeback of the bald eagle in the entire North American continent.
Ride aboard the Discovery Barge II, a comfortable 24-foot covered pontoon boat and experience majestic bald eagles closer than you may have ever seen them. This 2-hour tour has been called one of the most unique bald eagle tours on the East Coast!
