Nature of Nome: Expert-Led Arctic Birding & Natural History Safari

Join a world-class naturalist on an immersive Arctic birding and natural history safari across the Seward Peninsula — one of the planet's premier wildlife corridors for rare Asian vagrants, shorebirds, and tundra species.

What to expect

Wildside's expert guides know the Seward Peninsula intimately — where the rare Yellow Wagtails and Bristle-thighed Curlews feed, where Arctic foxes den, and when the tundra light turns golden. Days unfold at a naturalist's pace: scanning, stalking, photographing, and absorbing the science of one of earth's most remarkable ecosystems. The commentary is graduate-level and the optics (spotting scopes, top binoculars) are supplied. Every hour feels like a wildlife documentary unfolding around you.
