Whats the history of Backcountry Safaris?
Backcountry Safaris was founded in 1986. The company was born out of a fascination with Alaska’s vast wilderness and wildlife and a desire to share this experience with others. Owner Ron Clauson is a well-known Alaskan adventurer and has been rafting, kayaking, hiking and exploring Alaska’s backcountry for more than 30 years. He is an experienced whitewater rafter and longtime fly fisher. Having traveled extensively throughout the Alaskan bush, Ron has acquired a lifetime of knowledge on logistics, expedition planning and group travel into remote parts of Alaska. Today, Backcountry Safaris operates weekly scheduled sea kayaking, rafting and bear viewing departures and works in conjunction with other local tour companies to offer guests a unique Alaska experience.
