An outstanding hunting experience. No embellishment, nothing superfluous — pure and excellent hunting.

The camp is fantastic. Comfortable cabins with all the amenities of home. Great staff and meals. The wild lands of Newfoundland were a great experience for a guy from Arkansas.

So much of a hunt comes down to the outfitter and guide. Both were excellent, just great people who treated me very well. The hunting area was breathtaking and had abundant animals. Lodging and food were top notch too.

Lots of deer tough hunt with bad weather days but awesome when weather straightened out we shot three bucks, fishing was superb duck hunting was real slow food was incredibly good crab pots were a blast great trip with tons of meat and fish to fly home

Birds everywhere Very hospital host Hunting spots close to lodge We took 6 different species of ducks Make sure to ask about Craig’s world class hike made biscuits Food was great, host and guides were all great guys We already booked 2027 to return.

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.

The hunt was excellent. It was exactly what I was hoping for. David decided on a plan which we were able to execute and it all came together for a great result. It was a fantastic feeling to have the hunt unfold just as we had planned. David was very efficient in field dressing the Tahr and I enjoyed watching him do the job and helping out where possible.

Luis has great knowledge of the concessions he has and put me on ibex straight away. The hotels were excellent and food exceptional. I would recommend this outfitter for any hunt.

Beautiful country, really good experience!

A very positive experience taking part in a pest control activity. Wallaby meat is delicious, and I am more than satisfied!
