Day-by-Day Itinerary

	Day 1 Pick up in Anchorage for the beautiful ride down the Kenai Peninsula. Orientation and lunch at the main lodge and then on to the airport for the spectacular bush plane flight to our Bear Camp. The balance of your day is spent viewing bears.  Cuisine is flown in daily from the main lodge and prepared by your guides. Overnight in comfortable “Weather Port” tent cabins with twin beds, and propane heat.
	Day 2 Wake at your own schedule to hot coffee or tea, then spend the morning with the royalty of Alaskan Wildlife-  the incredible Brown Bear  After lunch, your return bush flight will bring you back to our main lodge on the Kenai River.  Settle in to your riverside cabin with private bath. Hot showers, Happy hour and dinner welcome you back to civilization!
	Day 3 Today float the clear mountain waters of one of Alaska’s most prodigious Salmon spawning rivers. This annual event brings Bear and Eagle in numbers to feast on salmon eggs and the carcasses of hundreds of thousands of dying salmon. This scenic float will bring you memories that you will keep for a lifetime.
	Day 4 North to Alaska! Visit the Fish Netting Site of early native peoples then hear the Russian history come to life in the words of the Father of the still standing Orthodox Church. Then spend time inside a fi shing Cannery, watching as they process the salmon catch of the nearby anchored fl eet---some from the “World’s Deadliest Catch.” End your day panning “Gold” from the gravel of a producing mountain stream.
	Day 5 Kenai Fjords National Park! Hike to the face of a retreating Glacier & spend the rest of this day cruising amid Calving Glaciers, Humpback and Killer Whales, charming Sea Otters and endangered Stellar Sea Lions. Return to the lodge in time for happy hour.
	Day 6 The End of the Road! See early Russian Churches, active volcanoes, mountain vistas, a famous artist, and probably baby Moose with their mothers. Your fi rst view of Homer on Kachemak Bay is unforgettable as you spend a fun fi lled day exploring the art and rustic uniqueness of a bush community at “Land’s End”.
	Day 7 Your final day features a great, moderate hike to a raised platform high above a waterfall to view salmon leaping towards their natal spawning grounds or a ride behind a husky dog sled team. A morning of fishing is also an option.  Return to the lodge and depart via commuter or float plane for Anchorage (transfer not included).
