Alaska is a different kind of birding trip. The scale is huge, the days run long in summer and the birds are a mix of species you simply cannot find anywhere else in the Lower 48. This set departure is built to work through that landscape with a focus on the arctic and boreal specialties that make the trip worth every mile.
The tour covers coastal hotspots, tundra, boreal forest and the road system that ties it all together. Expect seabird colonies, waterfowl in numbers, ptarmigan, jaegers, and the chance at the kind of birds that only show up this far north.
Set departures run on fixed dates, so you can plan ahead and join a small group with the same focus. Days start early because the birds do, and the guiding stays hands on throughout, with time for photography and for just standing still and taking in the landscape.
