Alaska Safari Holidays
Home to some of the largest grizzly bears on the planet, national parks the size of nations, and glaciers equally as big as some North American states, the call of the wild is real in Alaska. Watch as brown bears snatch leaping salmon out of thundering rivers and plenty of wild characters such as musk oxen, grey wolves, moose and caribou. The landscapes of Alaska are those of towering snow-capped peaks, dramatic plunging valleys, fjords, untouched glaciers, forests and perpetual tundra. Rocky shorelines contrast with rolling hillsides and soaring mountains and horizons stretch as far as the eye can see.

Brad Josephs lived up to his reputation, and was excellent in all ways. His knowledge of specific bears enabled him to put us in exactly the right place to get great views of the bears fishing and we think very good photos. Linda Himelbloom, was knowledgeable about Kodiak, very helpful and went above and beyond in what she did. We understood that we wouldn’t be met at Kodiak airport - as it was before the first day of the trip. She did meet us and it did make a big difference. There were some differences - (for the better) between what we had found out before the trip and what happened. The best bits were the close-up views of several bears fishing and running through the sea. The poorest aspect was the Kodiak Inn (not terrible).

Gemma at NWS was extremely helpful and answered all questions comprehensively. We received all relevant material in good time and she was extremely friendly both on the phone and with her emails. Well done Gemma and thank you for your attention to detail. This was a brilliant trip with a great guide (Dan) who went out of his way to ensure everyone had a memorable time. The NWS app was also a great help, both before and during the trip. We now have many memories and loads of photos to look back on fondly for years to come.
