Birding the far north 35 miles from Siberia for Alaska specialties and Asian vagrants. This is also an opportunity to experience life in a Siberian Yupik subsistence village, few of which survive anymore. Up to five more nights can be added at additional cost.

Nome lies on the Seward Peninsula and juts into the Bering Sea. It’s a frontier town in a world where few such curiosities remain. Our trip to magnificent Denali National Park and the wilderness surrounding it is as much about large mammals, and a big (!) mountain, as it is about birds.

Note: This is a combined tour with our partners at Rockjumper Tours

This tour covers two unique habitats in Alaska: Barrow on the Arctic Ocean; and, Kenai Fjords National Park in the Gulf of Alaska. They provide very different views of Alaska and its spectacular coastline.
