Day 2. Transfer to the Commander Islands by helicopter. Day 3. After breakfast we start 2 days excursion to Commander Bay, Tolsty Cape. We drive about 4 hrs by caterpillar vehicle to view and make exclusive shots of birds, deer, blue polar fox, seals and sea-otters. Our wildlife guides will make everything possible to show you as much as possible of the natural life of the bay and its unique fauna.

Overnight in a tent camp or in hunter's hut.
