Our guided overnight viewing trips will begin and end at mid day. We plan to depart from Kodiak about noon and return by 2 PM the following day.

Two and three night trips are our regular schedule, but longer stays are possible and encouraged. Trips will begin on Mondays and Thursdays. A three night trip beginning Monday would leave Kodiak at 12 noon, and return to Kodiak on Thursday by 2 p.m., weather permitting. We prefer clients to arrive in Kodiak one day early and not on the first flight of the morning from Anchorage. To learn about accommodations and other activities in Kodiak, contact the Visitor's Bureau.

Since most activities take place close to water, all clients should have rubber boots. Clients are encouraged to have a fishing license and we will cook the fish they catch. We provide rods and fishing equipment.

Species of wildlife to view are bears, eagles, sea otter, deer, fox, river otter, seals, sea lions, sea birds, including puffins, oyster catchers, mergansers, gulls, kitty wakes, terns, and many more. Tide pooling at low tide is very rewarding for those interested in shell fish and other marine life. The experience we provide is appreciated war by those who enjoy ALL aspects of the wilderness.

A typical day would include a short boat ride first thing in the morning to a location from which we would look for bears. After a few hours, we would do some marine viewing and then return to base camp for lunch and ... sometimes, a nap! The late afternoon and/or evening hours, are again spent looking for bears. Midday provides time to observe the commercial fishing fleet, do some sportfishing, take a short hike, etc. Since we only take small groups, we can cater to each client's special interests. We invite you to start by choosing from a "wish list" of opportunities that includes:

• Bear viewing and wildlife photography
• Seabirds, marine mammals and eagles
• River rafting
• Sport fishing for salmon, Dolly Vanden, Arctic char
• Hiking, and more!

Clients who want a structured schedule may be disappointed. A true wilderness experience is one which must be flexible in order work around bad weather days, and days when bush airplanes can't fly due to wind and/or fog.

Our camp facilities are clean, dry, and warm, with plenty of good food, including fresh Kodiak salmon, trout, or halibut. The camp is NOT a 5 star lodge with maid service and wine served at dinner. Clients must bring all of their personal items including wash cloth and towel. We do provide sleeping bags with changeable liners.

Clients interested in a day trip only, should book our Uganik River float trip for wildlife viewing and fishing.
