Icy Strait Private Bear Search Tour

Excursion Overview

Experience the thrill of bear viewing on this personalized, private tour

Embark on a private bear-search adventure near Icy Strait Point, where Chichagof Island offers one of the world’s highest brown bear populations. After a scenic drive through the Tlingit village of Hoonah, we’ll venture into the Tongass National Forest on remote logging roads, exploring untouched landscapes. You and your guide will have the freedom to customize your experience, from hiking along beaches and rivers to trekking through muskegs. Waders are provided to access hard-to-reach spots, and the hiking difficulty can be adjusted to suit your group’s preferences.

In addition to bear sightings, you’ll explore the vibrant wildlife and plants of the temperate rainforest. Depending on the season, you may witness salmon spawning or gather wild berries. This active adventure takes you off the beaten path, allowing you to discover parts of the island few cruise ship passengers see. Whether you seek a thrilling adventure or a more relaxed tour, your experienced guide will ensure the experience is tailored to your needs.
