Overview
Look for brown bears in their natural habitat on a bus tour of Chichagof Island. The dense population of bears on the island makes this an ideal trip for tourists hoping to spot bears in the wild. Plus, traveling with a guide who knows the region and bear patterns increases your chances of spotting a bear and provides security and education you don’t get if traveling on your own.

Despite how our need to cancel our next month's tour impacted your company, I truly appreciate how graciously and quickly you did so, and how you refunded my money within a couple of minutes. I look forward to taking your tour at a more opportune time.

We had a tribal elder leading our small tour. What a fabulous way to see the area. We saw four bears, including one juvenile grizzly bear. The scenery is beautiful, and the history of the area is interesting. Great off the cruise ship tour!
