By Janine Hughes


As it may be, the Alaskan wild is ultimately symbolized by the big, wild and wandering bears. It cannot be denied that it is a magical and rare experience to see one even for a brief moment. People may see bears elsewhere such as in national parks. However, going to a Tlingit community on Chichagof Island that is located in Alaska's panhandle in its southeast region will definitely give them a different experience.

It is not just a unique, but intimate encounter at the same time. It is no longer surprising to know that this experience is as exciting as the safari tours conducted Africa. Taking part in Hoonah bear viewing is a rare chance for individuals including photographers to have a close encounter with these animals and other Alaskan animals including the several species of wolves, otters, birds and foxes in their regular surroundings.

The stunning views of the Alaskan volcanoes, coastline, landscapes and glaciers will welcome you. You will not regret it and will surely treasure the experience for a long time.

Early June is the most excellent time for these tours through middle of September when the Alaskan climate is in its coldest. Bears are best seen among lake and waterfall settings during late June and July. They indulge on plump young salmon as their preparation for the long hibernation period ahead. Young bears can be seen learning how to feed themselves and playing in the hillsides during late July through the month of August when they are attracted to sweet and juicy berries.

As a guest, you have to bear in mind that there are numerous rules you have to follow because you are in the habitat of such creatures. The open set up will give you the chance to see clearly how curious as well as intelligent they are.

It is vital for individuals to stay calm and still since the curious bears may just approach them anytime. The predictable behavior of individuals will refrain the bears from being aggressive and attacking them. Trained guides are present the entire tour because the safety of the viewers are of utmost importance.

Five to ten hours are often spent during most of such tours which is ideal for you to get to know the culture of these creatures better. In fact, you may just see behaviors that not even experts have prior seen. Such creatures have the tendency to not mind visitors and just go on with their everyday routines.

The reason behind this is that they have become very accustomed to the presence of people. It is normally an experience in itself to get a spot but they will also be flying over pebble beaches, many ice fields, rough mountain peaks, backcountry lakes, rich rugged wilderness and golden tundra. Alaska can definitely offer an exciting outdoor adventure such as these tours along with the panoramic views, unique wildlife and rich history.
