Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Tomakomai

   Japan

   

   Tomakomai is Hokkaido's principal Pacific port city, serving as a gateway to the Ramsar-listed Lake Utonai wetlands, the active volcano Mount Tarumae, and the world-class Upopoy Ainu museum. Must-do experiences include tasting the city's famous hokkigai surf clam sushi, birdwatching at Lake Utonai where over 270 species gather, and hiking Mount Tarumae's volcanic crater above the crystalline Lake Shikotsu. June through October provides the best weather for hiking and wildlife, while winter adds the stunning ice formations of Lake Shikotsu and excellent skiing to Hokkaido's northerly appeal.

2. Day 2

   Okushiri, Japan

   Japan

   

   Okushiri is a remote volcanic island off southwestern Hokkaido, celebrated for its legendary sea urchin, dramatic coastal rock formations, and the resilient spirit of its small fishing community. Visitors should explore the iconic Nabetsuru Rock, soak in oceanfront hot springs, and savor what many consider Japan's finest uni. The island is best visited between June and September when calm seas ensure comfortable tendering from cruise ships.

4. Day 9

   Aleutian Islands

   United States

   

   The Aleutian Islands are a 1,900-kilometer volcanic chain in Alaska where forty active volcanoes, enormous seabird colonies, and Steller sea lion rookeries create one of Earth's wildest landscapes. Must-dos include watching auklet swarms, approaching sea lion rookeries by Zodiac, and viewing the perfect cone of Mount Shishaldin. July offers the best conditions during the brief June-to-August expedition season.

5. Day 13

   Chignik, Alaska

   United States

   

   Chignik on the Alaska Peninsula is a remote Alutiiq village on a spectacularly productive salmon lagoon, with brown bear viewing, volcanic landscapes, and indigenous cultural traditions spanning millennia.

6. Day 14

   Katmai National Park and Preserve, Alaska

   United States

   

   Katmai National Park in Alaska protects the world's largest concentration of brown bears, most famously observed catching leaping salmon at Brooks Falls, alongside the volcanic moonscape of the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. The must-do experience is watching bears fish at Brooks Falls in July, with autumn offering dramatic pre-hibernation feeding. Late June through mid-September is bear season, with Brooks Camp permits essential and booked months in advance.

7. Day 15

   Kodiak, Alaska

   United States

   

   Kodiak, Alaska's oldest European settlement and one of America's largest fishing ports, sits on an island home to 3,500 giant Kodiak brown bears—the densest concentration on Earth. Must-dos include floatplane bear-viewing at remote salmon streams, the Alutiiq Museum of indigenous culture, and sampling king crab fresh from the harbor. July and August offer the warmest weather and peak bear-viewing season.

8. Day 16
