An official company announcement from Gondwana Ecotours has unveiled the open booking season for its premier summer itinerary, the Glaciers and Grizzlies Adventure. This carefully structured nine-day ecotour offers a maximum of sixteen guests unparalleled access to Alaska’s most iconic and pristine wilderness landscapes.

The expedition stands out in the luxury travel market due to its rigorous commitment to environmental sustainability. In an innovative partnership with the environmental firm Cooler, the tour operator completely audits and offsets the entire greenhouse gas carbon footprint of every single guest.

By directly purchasing pollution permits from regulated carbon markets, the company ensures true environmental accountability while actively preventing emissions from reaching industrial polluters.

The curated daily programming provides a balance of high-adrenaline adventures and intimate wildlife encounters. Guests will board a chartered floatplane for an exclusive fly-in grizzly bear viewing experience at world-renowned habitats like Brooks Falls, with locations chosen day-of by expert guides based on real-time salmon runs. The adventure also features a helicopter flight over majestic ice fields to a high-altitude glacier for an exhilarating dog sled ride with professional Alaskan mushers. Back at sea level, a private coastal boat cruise and kayaking excursion offers close encounters with humpback whales, orcas, and sea otters. The unforgettable journey concludes each day with premium accommodations and sustainably sourced regional dining that highlights the very best of local Alaskan ingredients.
