Alaska Bear Viewing Tours
Make your Alaska vacation unforgettable with a fly-in bear viewing tour to Katmai, Lake Clark or Redoubt Bay. Traveling by floatplane from Anchorage, you’ll land where bears naturally gather—salmon-rich rivers, tidal estuaries and coastal meadows—and observe them safely with expert naturalist guides. Tours range from half-day to full-day and pair seamlessly with Alaska Railroad itineraries, so you can ride the rails to Denali and add bear viewing before or after. Peak season runs May–September, with salmon runs and coastal foraging offering outstanding photography and wildlife encounters.
