This wildlife excursion offers a journey deep into the natural and cultural heart of Chichagof Island.

Your adventure begins with a narrated drive through the Tlingit village of Hoonah, then winds through coastal rainforest and open muskeg—prime habitat for bald eagles, woodpeckers, Sitka black-tailed deer, and the iconic Alaska coastal brown bear.

Upon arriving at the Spasski River Valley, your guide will lead you onto “the trail of the bear”—a boardwalk pathway that traces the ancient footsteps of the region’s largest and most elusive residents. For generations, this valley has been a vital feeding ground for wildlife, with bears and other animals drawn to the salmon-rich waters and surrounding vegetation.

As you explore this quiet, breathtaking landscape, your guide will share stories of the land’s ecology, history, and the deep relationship between wildlife and the environment. This tour is both accessible and deeply rooted in the rhythms of Alaska’s wild.

    Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
