Tour Operator
Born in 1972, TrekAmerica was the brain-child of Jeremy James; and was started out based on the idea of cross-country American road trips with friends. The very first treks were 21 days, starting in New York and ending in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, the very same route that is still our most popular trip today - the Southern Sun!
The concept was simple, get together a group of free-wheeling, independent types, pack up a van with tents, camping gear, and a trek leader and follow the road, hitting all the key places along the way. Labelled 'Tours for Non-Tourists' trips were aimed at 18-35's and offered a fun, flexible and cheap way to travel
Fast forward 40 years and whilst a few things have changed along the way our spirit remains the same, we love bringing together small groups of young, international travellers to experience the best of USA, Canada, Alaska and Central America. Taking in the incredible national parks, small towns, amazing cities and fantastic activities, TrekAmerica gives you the ultimate American adventure.

You will take a covered pontoon boat with our experienced naturalist guides through the chain of Big River Lakes that are host to sockeye and Coho salmon runs and a popular feeding site for resident bear (and fishermen as well!)
This bear viewing experience is an easy half day trip from Anchorage with morning or afternoon departures of approximately 6.5 hours.
