Wildlife holiday in USA travel advice
Nature
“Please don’t invade the animals' space. These national parks are not for us, they are actually for the wildlife, so let’s keep them wild. Follow the rules, stay on the path, don’t litter, don’t feed the animals and so on. As tour leaders we would really hit home about these points.”
Wolves
It is the main breeding season for the wolves and so they are more active in trying to find mates and establish new packs. So I would recommend January – February for wolf watching in the USA.”
Guides
Bears
“I recommend bear watching for families, especially in somewhere like Brooks Falls, Alaska, where you might see 20-30 bears at one time fishing for salmon. A weeklong trip of pure bear watching for kids, maybe not so much. But if you are building a bespoke trip with other activities such as kayaking, whale watching and so on, then it definitely would be an attractive option for families.”

"I would just say don't hesitate!... the whole stay in Alaska was wonderful from start to finish. Seeing all the wildlife, in Denali National Park (bears, caribous, wolves...),when on a boat in the Kenai fjords (orcas, sea lions, humpback whales...), but also just when travelling casually on a road, was fantastic: they're just part of everyday life in Alaska… loved the part when we got to kayak on very beautiful Sunday morning, on very calm water, and the aim was not to reach a certain point or to be as fast as possible, but just to enjoy the wonderful scenery of this bay, kayak along the rocks and look at the sea stars and jelly fish, while encountering sea otters swimming nearby and even spotting a whale at a relative distance.” - Bettina Bernhardt on our Alaska adventure holiday, salmon run.
“Carry bear spray if possible and don’t run if you see one. And check out the National Park Service advice page for more details." – Catherine Mack
