Adak Island Caribou

Alaskan Adventure Tours, Inc. offers a first-class vessel based Caribou Hunt in the remote region of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands. This will be a seven-day, seven-night vessel based hunt aboard the spectacular 100-foot Ex-Bering Sea King Crab Vessel the North Pacific.

The North Pacific will be the mother-ship and base camp for the duration of the hunt. The North Pacific will be anchored up in a protected, calm bay at all times with location depending on weather conditions. We will transport you to different locations upon reasonable requests in our high speed transport vessel the M/V Speed of Sound which is a 25 foot off Shore Mako with twin 250hp Yamahas.

You will be in pursuit of a large Caribou Herd numbering approximately 2,500 animals. In this herd there is good opportunity to harvest large trophy class bulls. We hunt Adak Caribou during the month of September. You will have the opportunity to harvest One Caribou. After harvesting your Caribou, you will have the option to harvest an additional Caribou for a trophy fee of $1,000.00 plus State of Alaska tag fee. Adak Island Caribou enjoy the reputation of producing some of the largest caribou in the entire world and it is a high possibility that the next World Record Caribou will come off the Island of Adak.

You will be hunting on the remote Aleutian Island of Adak. You can fly to Adak on Alaska Airlines directly from Anchorage, Alaska.

We will pick you up at the Adak Airport and transport you to the dock where the M/V North Pacific will be waiting. The boat will then travel to the protected remote bays of Adak Island.

The large Caribou population on Adak Island is virtually untouched by other hunters. There are one or two tent camp operations in the area but they are not mobile like our vessel based operation is.

To be a successful and safe vessel based operation in such a remote area as Adak it takes a serious piece of equipment such as an Ex Bering Sea Crab Boat to safely and effectively navigate the perimeter of the Island while staying one step ahead of the herd at all times. This cannot be effectively achieved by tent camps.

Vessel based hunting provides a much higher opportunity rate to harvest an animal compared to being dropped off at a tent camp. Depending on weather we will cover many miles of coastline each day to optimize the best chance of harvest success.

This will be a transported hunt only. You will return each evening to the North Pacific where you will enjoy the comfort of a hot shower, first-class meal service and a warm heated bunkroom and/or private staterooms based upon availability.

The only difference between the guided and unguided is that the unguided trip you will be skinning your own animal and packing it out.

As you know Caribou is nothing more than a large deer and most of our clients are choosing to go the unguided route and save themselves thousands of dollars for the hunt.
