À quoi s'attendre
1
Tongass National Forest
We will take a 30 minute flight over Admiralty Island to Chichagof Island. We disembark at the beach and spend 2.5-4 hours watching the bears fish out of the small river at the base of a large waterfall. When the salmon are spawning this is some of the most active bear viewing in Alaska! We can frequently see glaciers from the plane as we depart and return to the Juneau Airport.

Our Alaskan friend told us: If you’re going to spend money on one thing in Alaska, spend it on seeing bears. I’m SO happy we chose Peter at Wild Coast Excursions to take us bear watching. Peter outfitted us with excellent gear and took us on a float plane to an incredible location on Chichagof Island. We were able to get very close to several bear families and watch for hours as the tide rolled in. Peter knew all about bear behavior and was always sure not to make the bears nervous about our presence. He was easy to spend time with, and I deeply appreciated his whispered explanations about the bears’ behavior. When it was time to leave, fog had rolled in and our float plane could not pick us up. Peter had multiple contingency plans ready to go and used satellite and radio to stay in touch with his contacts on fishing boats, a Kiwi mega yacht, and the airfield to figure out the best options. We ended up with a real Alaskan adventure, and Peter told us all about the history, plants, and animals of the islands where he grew up. After a fast speed boat ride and an epic hike, a float plane was finally able to break through the fog and pick us up at a different location. Peter made us feel like family. I treasure our trip with Peter. It was definitely the highlight of our 1.5 weeks in Juneau.

This is a must try experience if you are coming to Juneau. This is the best place in the world to see brown bears in their true habitat. Our guide Peter was knowledgeable, super friendly and amazing with our group of 6. The plane was on time, we had amazing rain gear and boots so we felt much comfortable. We sent to see the bears in a beautiful protected place, away from the crowds. We were taught about their behavior, environment and what to do in case one of the bears gets curious with us. We had two bears fishing salmons 100 yards from us for 2 whole ours. We would definitely repeat it and recommend to everyone that loves this kind of private excursions. Cheers to Peterfor our amazing day!!!

A weekend spent bear viewing and hiking with Peter Nave at Wild Coast Excursions was one to remember! We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed both Peter’s company and his extensive knowledge. Spending time with brown bears in their home on beautiful Chichagof Island with just one other couple was a privilege. None of the usual trappings of tourism such as restrooms - you sit on a rock or grass tussock and enjoy the bears at close quarters. Paradise at Waterfall Creek. It was a thrill to be taken to the top of Mount Juneau in a small helicopter. The walk along the ridge was exhilarating and comfortable, and the good weather allowed for great views. Again, Peter’s knowledge added much to the excursion. We opted to walk down rather than call for the helicopter. Not for the faint hearted! We have walked a lot in the European Alps, including recently in Austria, but we found this descent challenging on a warm day. We’re reasonably fit for our age (72 & 70) but the route down is perhaps better suited to people a few years younger! We savoured a sense of achievement though as we gulped a welcome can of cold coke at the end, pulled from the boot of Peter’s car. Look no further than Wild Coast Excursions for bear viewing and hiking from Juneau! Thank you Peter.
