A LITTLE ABOUT US

We’re not just your ordinary birding company.

An Alaskan Family Owned Business

Wilderness Birding Adventures owners, Aaron Lang and Robin Lohse, are long-time Alaskans who love the outdoors, are hooked on birding, and are truly dedicated to making your experience with us the trip of a lifetime. We are a small company with just a handful of Alaskan guides. But small means personal, flexible, and powerful. Small allow us to focus on what matters in a business and to make decisions based not just on profit potential but on how we can best increase the “fun factor” and improve our community and the communities we travel to. Simply put, we do Alaskan birding better than anyone.

We have chosen beautiful Homer, Alaska as our home and headquarters, where the birding is fantastic, the kids grow up kind and capable, and the surrounding Kachemak Bay provides endless opportunities for adventures. Operating Wilderness Birding Adventures allows us to embrace our passion, share it with others, and support our way of life. Want to find birds and have fun doing it? Join us. We love what we do and it shows!

Based in Homer, Alaska, we specialize in crafting birding and ecotourism adventures designed for those in search of birds, wildlife, and wild places. Specializing in remote destinations, unique experiences, and wilderness travel, Wilderness Birding Adventures has been the company of choice for over 35 years for those seeking to bird Alaska with Alaskans.

We welcome novice and experienced birders alike and are happy to assist you in finding your dream trip. If you enjoy observing and learning about birds, wildlife, landscapes, and fascinating places then you’ll love our trips. From a remote base camp in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to serious birding tours on Bering Sea islands, we design and deliver impeccably organized and professionally guided trips to Alaska’s birding hotspots and to its little known hideaways.

Where ever we go, we create adventures that we would want to take ourselves—small group expeditions to interesting places. We’re motivated by quality, not quantity. Most of our trips are limited to nine or fewer participants which ensures plenty of individual attention and a comfortable camaraderie between guests. Our leaders are professional and fun. They’re Alaskan birders and naturalists who love what they do and it shows in the high marks they receive from our participants and in the number of guests we have returning each year for more.
