Polar bear in a snowstorm this past September, Alaska Arctic.
I’m guiding two more polar bears tours for Hugh Rose again in Fall of September, 2016. By the way, all the photos on that page were taken during the 2015 tours.
The first trip I do for Hugh is timed to hit the amazing autumn colors in the Brooks Range. The landscape is absolutely transformed into an amazing sight! Of course like both trips, we will see lots of polar bears, and hopefully northern lights. This is a small group of just 5 or 6 guest. This small size gives us an added advantage of all being able to fit as a single group on the boats for polar bear viewing. Boats often offer better viewing possibilities. This very expensive option and is included in the cost of the trip – we will have 3 hour boat trips every morning and evening we are in the remote Arctic village conditions permitting. But, we also have a bus rented for the entire time which is important, as there are times that the bus viewing is better than the boat. The windows all slide open allowing safe photography of the polar bears if they are near town. It also allows us to photograph other subjects during the day. There are many birds in the area that time of year including snowy owls. If we get lucky, we may be able to photograph arctic fox! These trips also include the flight to village where we photograph the polar bears, another expensive option not included in many tours.
The second trip is a little larger group, but has the added benefit of having Hugh as a second guide. Hugh has be organizing and guide trips here for many years and not only has incredible knowledge of the area, but also knows most the people in the village. He is actually the first person to begin offering polar bear tours in Alaska.
I can go on and on, but click the link for more information, or feel free to contact Hugh or myself with questions. You book this trip directly with Hugh.
