Wild Bear Safari is a locally owned and operated tour company in Hoonah, Alaska (Just outside of Icy Strait Point Shuttle included). We offer personalized land based nature and bear viewing tours on the majestic Chichagof island. 

First, in our small groups, Ill show you our sleepy alaskan fishing village. Then we’lll head out on the back roads, in remote country on the hunt for Bear. We’ll troll the bridges over salmon streams, check out beaches, berry patches, if the groups up for it we’ll hike my favorite forest trail. The goal is to view our bears at a safe distance feeding on salmon, local berries, or just lumbering through the forest. 

Tour times can range from 3-4 hr depending on your schedule.  Hiking will be an option for groups who are up to it.  While we bear search, I will  inform our awesome group about bear safety, the history of the local population, and about our beautiful surroundings. I also got some stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

After our exciting time together, you can choose wether you’d like explore in town a bit, or to go back to explore Icy Straight Point where your Ship is docked. We have never been late for the all-aboard. In fact, we guarantee you will be safe and on board long before your departure.

Book now for your private tour.
