top ACTIVITY
Tutka Bay Lodge offers an amazing opportunity to explore the most populated wild habitat of Alaska brown bears. Your day will start with a boat ride to Homer, where you’ll transfer to the airport to board your aircraft. Upon landing on a remote beach, you’ll walk along the same trails as the bears, sit on the same riverbanks as they do, and observe them as they go about their day-to-day life
unique fact
The Dixon Family has not one but two celebrated chefs: Kirsten and Mandy who have written multiple cookbooks, including "Living Within the Wild" which was published in April 2021. The family also owns a small cafe in the vibrant Homer harbor, and a Cooking School at Tutka Bay Lodge, uniquely housed in a converted historic crabbing boat.
social impact
Tutka Bay Lodge was thoroughly vetted by a National Geographic sustainable tourism expert ensuring that Nat Geo’s high standards were met based on the pillars of sustainable tourism: protection of natural heritage, protection of cultural heritage, support for local communities, and environmentally friendly practices.
