Ultimate Alaska Wildlife Safari

Denali National Park's wilderness has long drawn thousands of tourists, most riding crowded buses along the park road. Over time, wildlife began avoiding these busy areas. But after a 2021 landslide closed the road and reduced human presence, animal behavior began to shift, and sightings are on the rise! Watch our video to see why wildlife is returning to the Denali Backcountry.

Discover Alaska’s pristine Bear Coast, including Katmai and Lake Clark national parks. This area offers intact, pristine brown bear habitat with abundant salmon runs and other food that support the world’s highest density of wild bears. Learn why we must protect the bears, their habitat and the people who depend on both.

Experience wild Alaska—including enormous brown bears, moose, whales and other Alaskan wildlife—from the remote mountain reaches of Denali to the shores of Katmai and Lake Clark and the marine environs of Kenai Fjords.

From the blazing maples of Maine to Alaska’s crimson tundra and Patagonia’s golden hills, autumn transforms the Americas into a living canvas. Expedition Leader Arthur Kampmann explains the science behind fall’s colorful foliage and how wildlife responds to the season’s cues. Learn what triggers bears to enter hyperphagia to prepare for winter, moose to begin their rut, and migratory birds to move south, and discover the best times and places to witness nature’s grand seasonal transformation, including on Nat Hab’s fall adventures.

Alaska’s glaciers are breathtaking—and vital. These slow-moving rivers of ice shape landscapes, store freshwater and help stabilize our planet’s climate. But Alaska’s glaciers are melting at an unprecedented rate, raising sea levels and threatening wildlife and nearby communities. Ultimate Alaska Expedition Leader Laura Geissinger explains how glaciers form and why they’re essential to life on Earth. She also reveals what their retreat tells us about a warming world and how the choices we make today can help protect Alaska’s frozen frontiers for the future. 

We’re thrilled to welcome bestselling author Kristin Hannah (The Women, The Nightingale) as guest of honor at our inaugural Nat Hab Book Club. Kristin joins host Brooke Mitchell to discuss The Great Alone, her acclaimed novel set in 1970s Alaska. Kristin is no stranger to The Last Frontier—in fact, her family founded Alaska Bear Camp, now owned and operated by Nat Hab! Kristin will share stories of her family’s adventures in Alaska and reflect on how nature influences her writing. She’ll be joined by Caprice Stoner, manager of Bear Camp since 2006. Whether you're a fan of the book or simply love wild places, this is a can't-miss event.
