Spasski River Valley Wildlife & Bear Search

Your journey out to the Spasski River is a tour in itself with your local guide narrating as you travel through the Tlingit village of Hoonah and through the forests and muskegs of Chichagof Island.  You will want to keep an eye out for bald eagles, woodpeckers, Sitka black-tailed deer, and the Alaska Coastal bear.  When you arrive at the river, your guide will lead you on “the trail of the bear,” our boardwalk that follows in the footsteps of the island’s largest inhabitant as well as other wildlife that have used this area for thousands of years to access the bounty of the river and surrounding valley.

  • Minimum Age:

    8 years old

  • Duration:

    Approximately 2.5 hours

Whale, Wildlife & Bear Search

Search for Alaska’s largest mammals on this combination tour: whales and coastal brown bears. Your half-day Alaskan adventure takes you to explore the rich waters of Point Adolphus, home to a myriad of marine mammals including whales, sea lions, seals, and porpoises.  Enjoy warm, comfortable seating inside or savor the spectacular views from outside viewing decks.  Your whale watching trip will depart directly from Icy Strait Point, allowing for the maximum amount of water time available.  Known to have one of the largest populations of coastal brown bear in the world, the second half of your adventure continues with a trip into the wilderness of Chichagof Island.  Upon arriving to the Spasski River Valley, your experienced guide will lead you over gravel and boardwalk pathways through dense forest and muskeg marsh to several viewing platforms above the Spasski River.  Learn about the coastal brown bear, their habitats and why this area is ideal for their year-round foraging. Besides coastal brown bears, there is a chance to view other wildlife such as Sitka-black tailed deer, river otters, pine martens and bald eagles. You will be exposed to the elements during the bear walk and time spent on the viewing platforms.  It is highly recommended participants wear comfortable shoes and layered clothing, including a rain jacket.  Weather conditions can change rapidly in southeast Alaska and it is important to be ready for the elements.  Please remember the bears are wild and not guaranteed to be sighted on tour, this is true Alaska wilderness.

  • Duration:
