Our primary focus is to provide clients with a safe, comfortable, natural setting, in a remote environment to observe, learn about and photograph the majestic coastal brown bears of the Alaska Peninsula. Our goal is to create a desire in our clients, an appreciation for the great bears and the need to preserve and protect them and the wilderness they live in.

There is an educational emphasis for our clients to learn about brown bears, the ecology and natural history of the area. Popular misconceptions about bears will be dispelled, replaced by facts. You will learn how to live in and travel safely through "bear country", something which only comes with education and experience.

Our ethics for "Watchable Wildlife"; we approach and observe all wildlife in such a manner that our presence does not disturb them or change their behavior. We only offer our guide services for wildlife viewing and photography. Our style of travel and camping maintains a low impact on the natural environment. The land use is sustainable over time without significantly altering the resource or negatively affecting the experience.

The owner of AK Adventures, Dave Bachrach, will be the principal guide for your trip. A Homer resident with over 25 years of wilderness experience, having lived, worked, backpacked in areas with high concentrations of both brown and black bears. He has explored many different regions of Alaska, from Hyder in Southeast, to the Brooks Range in the North and can also help answer questions you may have about visiting other areas of the state as you plan your trip.
