Location of Adventure
Kodiak, Alaska
Group Size Limit: Approximately 6 Travelers
A very important feature of our Alaskan grizzly bear tours is the limited group size as nature expeditions are best experienced with smaller groups of travelers.

Not Included
Travel to and from start and end point of trip, alcoholic beverages, all gratuities, items of a personal nature (phone calls, souvenirs, etc.), airline baggage fees, airport and departure taxes, optional travel insurance.
Physical Requirements
Easy to Moderate
This trip does not require a high degree of physical fitness, though travelers should be able to walk in shallow water and mud wearing hip waders. We also ask that travelers be of sound health and able to maintain a positive attitude in a wild setting.
Important Information about This Trip
This trip involves watching grizzlies on foot in unprotected open areas. While bears are unpredictable and sighting them can never be guaranteed, our groups have never missed seeing them. The unpredictability of bears can also lead to dangerous situations. They are wild animals, and we ask travelers to heed the rules set by our staff and to understand that this trip can, potentially, present harmful situations. We ask that all travelers take their own safety into consideration when signing onto this (and any) adventure. On this trip we experience bears from a rare and fascinating perspective, at eye level! Very few people in the world have an opportunity to see these powerful and beautiful creatures so intimately, and we are proud to be among the select few able to do so.
Getting There & Getting Home
Arrive in Kodiak before by 7 pm on Day 1 (those who arrive before 1:30 pm will have the option of joining an NHA representative to explore Kodiak). We recommend arriving a day early. We are scheduled to arrive back in Kodiak in the evening of Day 6 (afternoon of Day 7 for Photo Tour). You are free to depart from Kodiak anytime in the afternoon on Day 7 (Day 8 for Photo Tour), but it is recommended not to depart too early on the final day in the unlikely event poor weather prevents us from returning to Kodiak by float plane as scheduled on the itinerary. Should travelers be required to remain in Kodiak longer than anticipated due to inclement weather, either after the trip or during the trip, they will be responsible for their own expenses.
