Outdoors International TRIP #OI-AKFW2

Bering River Duck Hunt

Experience the thrill of Alaska duck hunting in one of the world’s most diverse flyways, with guaranteed opportunities for Harlequin.

Man, it felt good when that warm ocean air hit us as we stepped off the float plane in Cordova. This trip is all about experiencing one of the most diverse flyways in the world, right here at the Bering River. Over three full days, you’ll be immersed in the rhythm of the hunt, with the chance to see a myriad of duck species—Harlequin, Long-Tailed Duck, and more. The guides know their stuff, and they’ll get you on the birds, guaranteed. And hey, if you don’t get your Harlequin, the fourth day is on the house. You should get the opportunity to fire a box or two of ammo a day, so come prepared for a sore shoulder. It’s not all smooth sailing though; the weather can be a challenge, and you’ll need your rain gear and waders. But that’s hunting in Alaska for you. Whether you choose to lodge in Cordova or stay aboard the vessel, you’ll be well taken care of with meals and snacks. And if you fancy a change of pace, there’s optional winter King salmon fishing. This isn’t just a trip; it’s a genuine Alaskan adventure.

The Alaska duck hunting season runs from October through December. Expect cool, possibly wet weather, so pack accordingly.

You’ll be targeting a variety of duck species, with a special focus on Harlequin ducks. The guide guarantees the opportunity to reach your annual limit.

You’ll have three full days of duck hunting, firing over 50 rounds each day. If you don’t hit your limit, the fourth day is free.

Choose to stay aboard the vessel or in Cordova. If you stay on the vessel, all meals are included. The outfitter will help decide based on your group size and bird locations.

Fly into Cordova, AK on Flight 61 or 66 the day before. A float plane will take you to the Bering River area on Saturday morning, weather permitting.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you, Stan Masneri

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
