This 10-day Manomet partnership tour was specially designed to enjoy the incredible breeding-season highlights of Alaska’s most wild places – Utqiaġvik to the North, Nome to the West, and Kenai Fjords to the South! This is truly a bucket-list opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts, and the ultimate opportunity to explore Alaska with an emphasis on the breeding shorebirds which return each year to nest throughout the Arctic. Wildside’s Alex Lamoreaux and Manomet’s Brad Winn are coleading this trip to some of the great state’s most famous destinations! Anchorage will serve as our base between excursions to three remote outposts, each with their own collection of special target species – many of which we will see engaged in courtship and breeding behavior! The scenery and photo opportunities will be superb! This is sure to be a trip to remember!
