Kamchatka isn’t just a destination; it’s a realm where nature reigns supreme.

This wild peninsula in Russia’s Far East is renowned for its incredible density of massive brown bears, often rivaling the size of their Alaskan cousins. These aren’t just any bears; these are true giants, boasting impressive size and a rich coat ranging from dark brown to light blonde in color.

Even though Alaska holds a special place for hunters (us included), we think you should consider the unparalleled brown bear hunting on Kamchatka Peninsula, where remote wilderness and high bear populations redefine the hunting experience. With minimal pressure, a high success rate, and the realistic opportunity to hunt 10-foot giants, all at a surprisingly affordable cost, Kamchatka stands out as the ultimate destination for trophy brown bear hunters.

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,

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!
