Wildlife viewing and sightseeing is a excellent choice if you want to see a lot of Alaska and experience the Alaskan backcountry. Most tour operators have their routes to follow, but where they stop… One Last Cast begins! You will safari into places very few, even Alaskans, ever get a chance to see. If you are planning a multi-day trip we can combine fishing, wildlife viewing and sightseeing to create just the right balance to ensure a well rounded experience. Our season begins in late May and continues through late October.

YENTNA RIVER WOLF EXCURSION September 1 to October 1 (depending on water levels)

Each fall as the water levels drop and the leaves turn beautiful autumn colors, wildlife viewing along the Yentna River offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to catch a glimpse of a Sow Brown Bear and her cubs in search for food or the chance to listen to wolves sing to each other as they begin to form packs before the long cold winter ahead. (Trip time is approximately 12 hours.) Fishing & Lodging add additional time to trip.
