Tour Details
Alaskan River Fishing and Icy Strait Point Bear Search
Experience the magic of Alaska's wild beauty with our exciting fishing excursion. Beginning at Icy Strait Point, we will transport you on a scenic drive through the native Tlingit village of Hoonah, offering a glimpse into the rich culture and history of Alaska's indigenous communities.
From there, we venture onto historic logging roads toward a serene river nestled within the dense foliage of the Tongass National Forest on Chichagof Island. This untouched natural landscape provides an exceptional fishing environment, promising plentiful salmon and trout. But that’s not all - this region is renowned for having one of the highest concentrations of brown bears worldwide, turning your fishing trip into a riveting wildlife spotting experience.
Depending on the season, you might witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of salmon spawn or try your hand foraging for wild berries, adding additional fun to your Alaskan adventure. Once we reach the river, we'll adorn our waders and head to our first fishing spot. You have the option to remain at this location or explore other fishing spots along the river - the choice is yours.
Beyond fishing, keep your eyes peeled for majestic brown bears roaming near the river. The opportunity to observe these wild creatures in their natural habitats creates memories that will last a lifetime. After an eventful day, we will guide you back through the mesmerizing old logging roads to either Icy Strait Point or a destination of your choosing in Hoonah.
Whether you're a fishing aficionado, a wildlife enthusiast, or looking for an unforgettable Alaskan experience, our tour offers the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and potential wildlife encounters. Don't miss your chance to cast a line, spot a bear, and immerse yourself in the wonders of Alaskan life. Book your spot today and reel in an unforgettable experience.
