Alaska: Glaciers & Grizzlies Adventure

We just finished the most amazing trip to Alaska!...

I can't say enough about Gondwana Ecotours. Absolutely amazing...

We had a fantastic experience with the Grizzlies & Glaciers tour...

Just got back from the Grizzlies and Glaciers tour!

My husband and I just returned from Gondwana's Glaciers and Grizzly's tour...

There should be 10 stars for Gondwana!!!

Seward and Homer Alaska are fabulous. The planes, boats, kayaks and a hellicopter were all thrills...

I have recently returned from a trip to Alaska with Gondwana Ecotours...

My friend & I did the Glacier & Grizzlies adventure July departure and OMG...

This was an amazing trip and it exceeded my expectations...

10 out of 10! We did the Grizzly and Glaciers tour and this tour checked every box on our list and a few we didn’t even have! Great lodging with spectacular views and a wide variety of activities that have created lifetime memories for us! Thank you Gondwana!

We went on the Glaciers and Grizzlies adventure. Awesome trip of a lifetime. Excellent guides, accommodations, food and support. All the excursions were perfect from the dog sled on a glacier to having lunch in Katmai National Park on the Moraine Creek with bears passing within 25 yards! We saw whales and a variety of birds and other sea life on our boat excursions. Our guides Ryan and Jack were perfect for our group and made the adventure even more enjoyable. If you want to see most all of what Alaska has to offer - book this tour.

My husband and I recently returned from Gondwana’s Glaciers and Grizzlies Tour. What an amazing adventure! This was our first time in Alaska and we wanted to experience it in a unique way. This company checked all our wishlist boxes. Our guides, Jack and Ryan, were caring, knowledgeable, and fun. We had great accommodations with beautiful views. And the excursions were even better than we imagined! After all, who wouldn’t love dog sledding on a glacier, impressive bear viewing on Moraine Creek, and seeing whales, otters, seals, and other wildlife while kayaking and boating?! We are already dreaming of our next trip with Gondwana Ecotours!!

Glaciers and Grizzlies tour was OUTSTANDING!!!! Highly recommend it and I will be doing another tour with Gondwana. Our guides Jack and Ryan were so AWESOME!! Warm, friendly, knowledgeable and they could not have done more to make sure we were enjoying our time in Alaska.

Gondwana Ecotours was a fabulous way for my husband and I to not only see part of Alaska but to be immersed in its wildlife and beauty. The Glaciers and Grizzlies Tour was fabulous. Our guides Ryan and Jack couldn’t have been more accommodating. Viewing the grizzlies far exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Gondwana Ecotours!

My wife and I recently returned from Gondwana's Glaciers and Grizzlies Tour. I would recommend this trip for anyone wanting to experience Alaska in a unique way. We had wonderful guides (Jack and Ryan) who were professional and courteous with significant knowledge about Alaska. Our excursions were outstanding. Gondwana uses top-rated organizations such as Turning Heads Dog Sledding and Emerald Air for float plane scenic tours and bear viewing. Paul Moore

Grizzlies and Glaciers This company provided everything promised and so much more. Out of 5 stars, we can't help but wish we could give Gondwana Eco Tours 10. Everyone (not an exaggeration) was so wonderful...from pre-trip staff, our two fantastic guides, activities guides and staff, onsite and off-site meal services....up to the company President with his family, who joined us for our farewell dinner. Our group of 16 were so much fun, interesting and ready to enjoy a trip of a lifetime. I think we all were incredulous at all the unexpected pleasures of this tour. The coordination of all the inner workings put into making this trip come together with no "hiccups" did not go unnoticed. When we did each activity, there were no others but our group. Unbelievable! Everything is upclose and personal from beginning to end. This trip was amazing. We hit the jackpot when we found Gondwana Eco Tours. The value of this tour is remarkable.

The Glaciers and Grizzlies tour was a once in a lifetime adventure. Thanks to Gondwana for making a wonderful trip possible for us and giving us memories for a lifetime. Our guides, Jack and Ryan were the best and took extremely good care of us.They took us to places on they way to other places and always had a surprise for us. We really enjoyed seeing the bears at Moraine Creek, the helicopter ride, the float plane ride, seeing the Alaskan Huskies, and the scenery was unbelievable and never ending. We saw even more wildlife on the boat tour. I took over 6500 photos plus videos. Gondwana did an outstanding job and I highly recommend them.

My husband and I have now done two tours with Gondwana Ecotours - in 2023 the Northern Lights Tour in Fairbanks, Alaska and in 2025 the Glaciers and Grizzlies Tour in Seward and Homer, Alaska. I can't say enough good things about this tour company. Their attention to every detail of making a trip of a lifetime for visitors come true is incredible. They provided spectacular adventures and experiences, beautiful accommodations, excellent local cuisine, and travel support every step of the way. We are already planning for our third adventure.

There just aren't words to describe how much we enjoyed this Gondwana Ecotour! Our Glacier's and Grizzlies tour was exceptional! It combined the best of the best of adventures offered in Alaska. We have been vacationing in Alaska for years. This was our 5th trip. We experienced so much more this time than we did on all the others combined. This is a first class company with an amazing staff. Our guides, Jack and Ryan were the absolute BEST. If you had a question, no matter how trivial, about something in Alaska they had the answer or they looked it up and got back to you. They were warm and friendly and FUN. We just can't say enough about these two! The other guides on our various adventures (bear viewing, dog sledding, kayaking, boating across the bay in Homer) were all excellent and informative as well. A shout out to Karl, our personal chef for several meals was also an amazing guy! The food/restaurants we visited were exceptional. We ate VERY WELL. The choices of what yo ate were yours, not chosen for you. I appreciate that as I choose to eat a very low carb, high protein diet and don't want a predetermined menu. The accommodations were very comfortable and spacious. The hosts at these lodges were very accommodating. The reservation process was very easy. We highly recommend this company!

We have done two tours. Patagonia and grizzlies and glacier. Both tours were beyond our expectations. The experiences you get to have with this tour company and their relationships with the local communities make the experience that much better. Would highly recommend this company!

We had an amazing experience on the Alaska Grizzlies and Glaciers tour! From the very beginning to the end of trip, everyone was professional, thoughtful, and genuinely committed to making our vacation memorable. Because Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable, our itinerary required some flexibility, and the guides did an outstanding job adjusting plans so we never missed out on incredible experiences. Their knowledge, organization, and positive attitudes made the entire trip stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an unforgettable Alaska adventure. They truly go above and beyond for their guests!!!

My husband and I just got back from the Glaciers and Grizzlies tour. This was a bucket list trip for us and we are so glad we pulled the trigger. I think it is officially our favorite vacation of all time and well worth the cost. Besides all the amazing things we saw, we made new friends and our guides were just beyond incredible. We didn't have to stress about a single thing, and everything really was accounted for seamlessly. I would highly recommend them for your next adventure! We will be booking our next one soon!

I was in AK in 2024 on your typical land/cruise trip. Loved it. But this tour by far is so much better. You really get to experience AK up close. There was nothing I didn't like! But be prepared for the weather to change plans. James & Sergius were phenomenal guides. Very knowledgeable about everything Alaska! And very accommodating! This trip is a little bit physical, some hiking, kayaking, climbing into boats, seaplanes & helicopters but all worth it. The best part was seeing the bears catching salmon up close on the river in Clark Camp. Oh the sled dog puppies were cute too!

My wife and I just returned from the Glaciers and Grizzlies tour; we also did the Northern Lights tour a couple of years ago. Both trips exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend Gondwana. The guides were very knowleadgeable and personable. All the activities were run by the best operators, and we enjoyed their range. We especially liked the small group size, which makes it possible to provide a more immersive, "close to the land" experience: we came for the Northern Lights or (mostly) the bears, but ended up also discovering a big slice of Alaska in winter and summer. I won't spoil it here, but on both trips we were treated to some unique surprise experiences that wouldn't be possible with larger groups. We did two trips with Gondwana, there will definitely be more in the future.

We recently went on the Grizzlers & Glaciers tour and had the most amazing time! We loved the small group aspect and our guides were very informative about the area and extremely accommodating to each guest. Every excursion was breath-taking with professional guides which always made us feel safe while enjoying the experience. Very nice and comfortable accommodations and the food was excellent….nobody went hungry! Truly a trip of a lifetime! We cannot recommend Gondwana EcoTours enough. Top notch!!

So, you are considering Gondwana's Alaska Glaciers & Grizzlies Adventure and it looks really cool. You are wondering if it is as good as it sounds and if it is a good value. Here's TL;DR for my review: It is amazing and worth every penny. I did the Alaska Glaciers & Grizzlies Adventure July/Aug 2026. I've done lots of travel and several eco-tours. This was my fourth trip to Alaska and this tour was one of the best: - Exceptional curation. The Gondwana team selects and continually evaluates some of the best and most exceptional experiences. The vendors they work with are all fantastic - knowledgeable, efficient, friendly and provide excellent value. This means you know you lodging, meals, hikes, boat rides, bear viewings, kayaking an all the rest will be the best you could find. - There is a Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C. Weather is a big factor when it comes to AK adventures. Flexible planning is the key to successfully dealing with weather. Gondwana always has multiple options and dynamically adjusts based on the current conditions. Flexibility is built into the schedule so if an event has to be postponed there is another event to take its place and, often, an opportunity to do the original event later. I can't overstate how important this is to getting the most out of the time and money you invest in this trip. - It's personal. Founder Jared Sternberg and his team take a very personal approach to designing, maintaining, and executing on these adventures. They know the area, the people, the other vendors and they stay on top of things to ensure reliability and quality. They have an excellent reputation with the communities and partners they work with. - Adaptability. Our group was a mix of high-energy, physically active people and those who were less so. There were couples and individuals. Our guides made sure that each individual had the best experience possible given their abilities & interests. Many of the adventures included options that were more or less challenging. In every case, the guides and other professionals when out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable, happy and safe. - Value. The price for the trip is truly all-inclusive. The only thing I paid for was alcohol and to tip my guides at the end of the journey. Literally everything else is covered by the tour fee. Given the quality of the experience, it is an exceptional value. So, what are you waiting for?
