For, whether desiring to view humpback whales, brown bears, birds or marine life, a number of different travel companies offer great wildlife viewing tours alaska.

Most individuals will enjoy all the animals visitors get to see and view while on one of these wildlife excursions. In fact, there are five animals in particular known as the Big 5 which are some of the most plentiful in the state. As such, visitors love to learn about the different habits, habitats, hunting and feeding habits of these animals which include caribou, Dall sheep, wolf, moose and grizzly bears.

While most tours focus on specific wildlife in different regions, there are others which focus on areas in which the Big 5 can often be viewed.
