Summer Selected Optional Tour Itinerary

Itinerary A | Katmai National Park Bear Watching Day Trip (US$1, $840/person)

Itinerary details:

Bear watching tours in Katmai National Park are among the most breathtaking and pristine nature experiences in Alaska during the summer. Brooks Falls 更是全球最著名的賞熊地點。行程通常清晨開始,約早上 7 點集合從市區出發,搭乘小型觀光飛機前往國家公園。飛行途中可俯瞰阿拉斯加半島廣闊荒野:綿延火山群、清澈湖泊、蜿蜒河谷與層疊苔原景觀;運氣好還可能在空中遠望駝鹿、鯨魚或狼群移動的身影。這段飛行本身就是震撼的空中探險。

Upon arrival, a brief safety briefing will be given by park rangers, followed by a walk along forest trails to the Brooks River and Falls bear viewing area. Katmai is home to approximately 2,000 brown bears, making it one of the areas with the highest brown bear density in the world. During salmon run season, dozens of brown bears are active at the falls daily, standing in the rapids waiting, pouncing, and catching leaping sockeye salmon—the kind of scene most iconic in many nature documentaries. You can safely observe brown bears fishing, fighting for territory, mother bears caring for their cubs, and interacting with the bear pack from the boardwalk and viewing platform—real, unadulterated moments in the wilderness, unlike anything you'd see in a zoo.

The Brooks area also offers opportunities to observe other wildlife, such as eagles soaring, seagulls flocking, and otters frolicking; surrounded by volcanic landscapes, pristine forests, and clear rivers, it boasts an adventurous atmosphere. The stay typically lasts several hours, allowing ample time for photography, observation, and exploration. Around 3–4 PM, guests return to the airstrip for their flight home, usually arriving back in Anchorage before 5 PM, concluding a thrilling full-day wildlife adventure.


Itinerary B | Hidden Gem River Fishing Day Trip (US$332/person)

Itinerary details:

Follow the salmon run and venture into Alaska's pristine rivers for a truly immersive fishing experience. Alaska is renowned as one of the world's best wild salmon fishing grounds; from late May to late September each year, sockeye salmon, king salmon, and coho salmon migrate upstream from the ocean to breed. The trip will adhere to seasonal regulations and ecological standards, visiting government-approved legal fishing areas to balance the fishing experience with ecological sustainability.

Under the guidance of professional instructors, you will experience the explosive power of wild salmon: leaping, struggling, and charging, each pull causing the fishing rod to bend dramatically, truly feeling the force of life. The moment of successfully hooking a salmon is an achievement that every fishing enthusiast dreams of.

The journey will take you deep into the little-known gems surrounding Anchorage: glacial meltwater-supplied valleys, turquoise rivers, and distant silver mountains interwoven with lush green forests. Occasionally, you might spot sea eagles soaring overhead, or even encounter moose, waterfowl, and other wildlife. We'll enjoy a simple, warm outdoor picnic, relaxing in the fresh air and the sound of flowing water. This trip is more than just fishing; it's a profound experience of Alaskan life cycles and the beauty of the wilderness.


Itinerary C | Knik Glacier Off-Road + Ice Lake Kayaking Day Trip (US$689/person)

Itinerary details:

Knik Glacier Off-Road Kayaking Tour It offers a highly adventurous and immersive glacier experience in Alaska during the summer. Knik Glacier is located northeast of Anchorage, approximately 80 kilometers (about 50 miles) in a straight line, and belongs to the Chugach Mountain Range. The glacier is about 40 kilometers long, with its fore-edge connecting to a vast glacial lake. The lake is filled with icebergs of various sizes and is the core area for activities such as helicopter tours, glacier hiking, and glacial kayaking.

The tour typically departs from a designated hotel in Anchorage around 8:00 AM, traveling in professionally modified off-road vehicles to the Knik Glacier area, a journey of approximately 2–2.5 hours one way. Once in the valley, the route traverses diverse terrains including sandy riverbeds, scree slopes, shallow streams, and pristine forests; this off-road adventure itself is a complete wilderness exploration, allowing you to experience the scale and power of Alaskan nature even before you arrive.

Upon arrival, enjoy a short rest and lunch near the glacial lake. Afterwards, a professional guide will provide safety and equipment instructions before the glacial lake kayaking experience begins. The water activity lasts approximately 2 hours, subject to adjustment based on weather and ice conditions. The kayaking area is located in a relatively calm and safe glacial lake, offering close-up views of the glacier's edge and floating icebergs from the water's surface. The lake water has a unique icy blue hue, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, ice walls, and moraines. In quieter conditions, you can even hear the echoes of distant glacier fractures and collapses.

No kayaking experience is required. A guide will accompany you and provide instruction to ensure safety and comfort. The pace is relaxed, allowing ample time for photography, observation, and immersion, making it especially suitable for travelers who want to deeply experience the glacier atmosphere and also enjoy taking photos. After the tour, you will return to your hotel in Anchorage around 4–5 pm, completing a day trip that combines off-road adventure, glacier exploration, and water activities.
