All About Denali

Alaska Wildlife Tours

Viewing wildlife in its natural setting is a highlight of any Alaskan tour. But an Alaska small group tour puts the odds in your favor to spot wildlife in its natural habitat. We offer Alaska’s best wildlife experiences including bear viewing tours (including Katmai brown bears), whale watching, birding and nature tours.

Find bears gorging on salmon filled rivers on our intimate Alaska bear tours statewide. View Dall sheep and mountain goats high in the mountains. Look for wolves, moose and caribou in Alaska’s interior. Watch sea lions, walrus and seals along Alaska’s coast. Catch the best views of whales in Alaska from a boat. Our Alaskan wildlife tour guides will get you to the right place to view and photograph animals. View our selection of Alaska wildlife tours or contact us to craft your own private wildlife safari.

  • “Every Detail Was Well Organized & Carefully Planned”

    Every detail was well-organized and carefully planned, so the complexities of traveling by small bus to boat, back to van, transfer to Kantishna bus, transfer to railroads all worked seamlessly and flawlessly. The guides--all of them, but especially our trip guide and driver--were very knowledgeable, interesting, and fun!
