First class, the Alaska way
Above all, first class means experienced pilots and guides, capable aircraft and a thoughtful plan. It also means enough flexibility to choose the strongest day available.
However, weather, tides, access and bear activity change throughout the season. Therefore, we use those conditions to shape each safari from our base on Beluga Lake.

The Alaska Ultimate approach
“We create the access. Alaska creates the moment.”
Owner operated in Homer
Above all, we built Alaska Ultimate Safaris around flying, wild places and personal care. As a small operation, we also bring that care to each guest’s day.
Over the years, we have flown helicopters and de Havilland Beavers into remote terrain. As a result, we have learned how quickly Alaska can change.

Before you choose, compare Katmai, Lake Clark and Brooks Falls. Then find your season and learn what to expect.
Before booking, share your dates, group size and walking needs with our Homer team. Also, mention any fixed travel plans after the safari. Because weather and access can change the day, leave room in your schedule. Finally, confirm the details of your selected trip.
