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.
Good to know
The full program is multi-day from Nome; contact Wildside Nature Tours directly to discuss day or half-day options tailored to a cruise port call. Ideal for serious birders and wildlife photographers — bring a long lens. Book months in advance as groups are tiny by design.
