Knowledge of the terrain and tracking of animals to be hunted. Excellent accommodations and meals. Guide (Andre) was pleasant and very professional. Fun to be with!

Marvellous Camp, High quality trophies, Real hunting

Bryn and Julia were the best hosts, attentive and looked after us. It was a special time and it felt like we made some friends. They were accommodating and helped choose the right buck and we got 4 out of 4. No misfires and no stray shots.

It was my first semi guided hunting trip I’ve been on and killed a 130 inch 10 point! It was my biggest deer to date and the hunt of a life time!! 10/10 recommend.

I couldn’t be much happier with how this short hunt turned out as part of an extended vacation. It was a perfect opportunity to include my wife in a hunting adventure. The accommodations are great, a neat old farm setting that has been beautifully preserved and decorated. Nicolas is well organized and has a huge amount of hectares to hunt. Clement was my guide who did an excellent job, especially considering his youth. He took me to many spots for long hikes for spot and stalk. We saw 1-4 bucks on every putting despite the hot weather (85+F every day). I was able to take 2 extremely good roe bucks. But if the hunting was great, the food was absolutely amazing! Cathy served delicious evening meals! So if you are taking your partner on a French vacation, why not take her here AND get a little hunting in for yourself for not a lot of money more?!

My two sons and I had a remarkable hunting trip with this company. Lucas became our friend from the moment we began speaking about and planning this hunt. I highly recommend any hunt with him and plan to return soon to duck hunt!

From the moment you step onto the boat at the Yakutat harbor, the adventure with Barela Alaskan Outfitter begins in unforgettable fashion. Heading north through a three-hour scenic masterpiece, the journey alone is worth the trip. Roughly halfway in, you reach the incredible Hubbard Glacier. Dodging floating ice while scooping up crystal-clear glacier pieces to take back to camp is just the beginning. Watching massive sections of the glacier crash into the sea while cruising past awe-struck cruise ship passengers — who clearly envy your rugged adventure — is a memory I’ll never forget. About an hour and a half later, you arrive at camp — two cozy cabins and a small outhouse that become home for the next twelve days. After settling in, it’s off to the island to start glassing for bear. The weather is no joke — rain is a near-daily companion — but that doesn’t take away from the experience. You prepare for it and you own it and it doesn’t even phase you it’s just part of the wonderful experience. Setting up under a rain fly and scanning the wild coastlines is an experience in itself. You start seeing bears, slowly at first, then in growing numbers. The anticipation builds. After several stalks that didn’t pan out, our luck turned. My highly motivated and passionate guide, Hunter, spotted a true giant known as “The Beach Boss.” After a painstaking stalk along the beachline, we thought we lost him but using a predator call Hunter was able to draw him out of the brush and we got him at just 30 yards. He was a monster: 9'8" with a 28 1/8" skull — one of only nine bears ever recorded over 28 inches Southeast Alaska! We had the opportunity to hunt for the elusive Glacier bear. We didn't get a chance on a Glacier, but harvested a great Black Bear. Beyond the hunt, the camp life is nothing short of exceptional. Hot meals, warm bunks, fresh-caught shrimp and mussels — we truly ate like kings. The entire experience is the definition of wild, remote, and real. An extraordinary team of experienced guides, untouched Alaskan wilderness, and a hunt you’ll remember for a lifetime. As Pete says, “Come with a positive mindset and adventure in your heart” — and you’ll leave with stories that few in the world can match.

Exactly what I was looking for. Remote hunt.

The accommodations were excellent and Ed the owner was a super guy! We shot some great dog towns and the scenery was spectacular! Ed was really easy to deal with and had some beautiful property! I’ll definitely go back for more dogs and thinking about an antelope hunt with him as well!

Food choice & quality was great for camping in the mountains. Knowledge of guide on Alaskan animals.
