Wildlife Packages

Alaska is known for its abundant and pristine wilderness, and wildlife viewing is a MUST when visiting. Nowhere else can you observe hundreds of different species of animals including polar bears, bald eagles, whales, grizzly bears and moose in their natural habitat.

Wildlife packages arranged by knowledgeable guides are the perfect way to see wildlife in Alaska in a convenient, fun and safe manner. Popular options include bear viewing, bird watching for life-list species not found anywhere else on the planet, or day cruising to view Alaska’s marine life up close and personal. Several wildlife rehabilitation and research centers also offer the opportunity to view animals up close and with the benefit of naturalists or other experts to explain their biology and behavior.

Wildlife excursions know no bounds in Alaska; from the national parks to the open ocean, a tour is the best way to see Alaska’s wildest residents—the animals.
