While superlatives strive to convey the grandeur of Alaska, they never quite manage to capture the reality. Our “Ultimate Alaska Wildlife Safari” trip does, though. We take you far afield from the heavily touristed routes to get you up close to the real Alaska: to the inner heart of Denali; alongside the face of a calving glacier; at river’s edge, watching giant brown bears fish for salmon. This is Alaska “less discovered”: bigger, wilder and more amazing than you’ve imagined. You’ve got to see it for yourself.
Trip Overview
With 76 million acres of wildlife refuges, 54 million acres of parks and preserves, and 23 million acres of national forest, Alaska’s spectacular scenery and wildlife make it a perfect destination for nature lovers. This special trip will give you an opportunity to view wildlife inaccessible to most travelers, providing a unique stay at a classic lodge in the back country of Denali (away from the tourist crowds), a small-ship journey to a private island in Kenai Fjords, and, perhaps as a highlight of our trip, a stay at Brooks Falls in Katmai, one of the best places on earth for viewing brown bears.
Location of Adventure
Alaska
Group Size Limit: Approximately 13 Travelers
A very important feature of our trips is the limited group size, as nature expeditions are best experienced with smaller groups of travelers.
Physical Requirements
Easy to Moderate / Flexible
The activities on our Alaska adventure are diverse. Although the longest walk required is one mile (to the falls in Katmai), longer walks and hikes are available for those who choose to enjoy them. We stress that travelers are not required to participate in every activity.
