Nothing says "Alaska" like a pulse-pounding encounter with a brown bear in the wild, a glimpse of a shy wolf pack or tens of thousands of caribou streaming across the tundra. You'll find wildlife tours in every part of the state, with air, land or sea transport designed to take you to where the wild animals live. Some of the most popular tours include bear-viewing; plus boat excursions in search of orcas, humpback whales and migrating gray whales, or the ultimate Alaska wildlife tour, a guided excursion to get up close and personal with polar bears along the Arctic coast.
