Embark on an unforgettable adventure with our DIY Black Bear hunts on the stunning Kuiu Island in Alaska. This exclusive experience is designed for the avid outdoorsman seeking a self-guided hunting journey. As your host, I will transport you to your desired hunting locations, but the hunt itself is up to you. Please ensure you do your research and feel free to reach out with any questions. We recommend utilizing the OnX Hunt app to explore various options, as Alaska's unpredictable weather may limit access to certain areas.

Rates: Our hunts depart midday on Sundays and return on Friday, providing 5 nights on board for $25,000 per week, accommodating up to 4 people. This 5-night hunt is available from mid-April to June, with the hunting season running from September 1st to June 30th.

Optional Add-Ons: For an additional fee, you can arrange for Harbor Air to fly you in and out of Baranof Warm Springs for a relaxing soak in the remote Alaskan Natural Hot Springs. Contact Harbor Air directly at
