Days 6-9

BEAR SAFARI and wildlife viewing
Over these 4 full days we will be absolutely SPOILED while staying at a 5 star lodge.
Each day we will have the opportunity to view bears in their natural habitat along with any other wildlife we may encounter
Day 1 of the safari we fly out to Katmai National Park… this park is only accessible by plane and one of the most highly sought after destinations in the country. No where else in the world are bears viewed like this. We will be visiting at prime salmon run to witness the bears feeding on their most important prey so they can fatten up for the tough Alaskan winter ahead.
Days 2-4 of the trip are wherever the wildlife is best!! We will also travel into Lake Clark national park and to wherever our pilots get reports the bear activity is at its peak. Each day we may be hiking/rafting to areas to get the best possible chance to immerse ourselves in the Alaskan bush, while keeping a safe and respectful distance from wildlife.

Day 10

We will spend this last day of our safari with the bears to capture the most incredible memories possible before we say farewell and fly back to anchorage that evening
Farewell dinner where I will most certainly get emotional and sappy thanking you all for coming along💗💗💗

Day 11

💙 Baja Gray Whale and Ocean Safari 💙
