Taking advantage of Alaska's long days/nights this unique birding package will be offered from the beginning of May through mid July. Leaving downtown Anchorage at 5:30pm returning by 10:00pm you will travel to three key birding areas throughout the evening.
Although many birders believe they can only locate birds in the early hours of the day, Alaska is unique in that birding opportunities exist in the evening hours for many species. Given Alaska’s almost 24 hours of daylight during the summer months, usual routines and habits of many species change dramatically. Many species are known to breed in entirely different habitats (e.g. many sandpipers and other shorebirds nest in Alaska’s mountains and alpine tundra).
Alaska is a rugged, wild and spectacularly beautiful place that provides home at least part of the year to some 474 documented species of birds. A vast wilderness of snow-capped mountains and wide glacially carved valleys, tidal flats and forests, rivers and lakes, alpine tundra and glaciated peaks provide habitat for a diversity of birds.
Looking for a special bird? We can design a custom birding trip for you. Tours are privately guided by our Expert Birder. Coming to Alaska is a trip of a lifetime, don't miss out on that "Life List" bird!
Your Itinerary will include 1 day: Pickup within Anchorage 5:30pm, Travel to various birding locations, Drop-off by 10:00pm (Snacks and water provided).
