Pristine Ventures has maintained its focus in the Alaska outdoors adventure niches, providing various product lines and services geared toward wilderness travel and big game hunting. We started the company in 1998 as a means to explore Alaska’s remote places by guiding small groups into the back-country, which has provided continued opportunities for professional development and advancements in field research techniques. These skills have allowed us to excel in the wilderness travel and big game hunting industries on a professional level.
Today, our business goals reflect the growing market trend towards self-guided adventures. This has demanded more support in that area with special focus on resources and product development, and proven less demand for fully-guided services. Therefore, to meet the needs of our customers, we continue to evolve ahead of the game.
Innovation, technology, and customer support are our motivators, and brand leadership is our aim. Our goals involve staying proactive in the outdoors industries, creating innovative product lines and resources, remaining connected with our growing network of customers, and continuing to promote low-impact wilderness travel throughout Alaska. We hope you’ll support us and reach out anytime.
