Witness the breathtaking excitement of viewing Alaska’s world-famous brown bears in their own habitat.
Experience the ultimate bear-watching opportunity where nature’s titans reign, from guided safaris on Lake Clark to the fabled salmon run of Katmai National Park.
Think of looking into the eyes of a 400-pound brown bear, an intimidating yet thrilling sight. Such sights can be expected on an Alaska bear expedition.
Explorers find stunning wilderness under more than 100,000 brown, grizzly, and black bears, under the guidance of experienced guides such as Mike Hillman.
One of these is Roxie and her cub Pebbles, which showed their wild attributes in that they had the initiative to outsmart a dominant male bear, Pom, by using Hillman’s group as a natural barrier.
Such close-up interactions, while safe under the guidance of professionals, showcase the raw beauty and behavior of Alaska’s bears.
During the months of June until early September, there is always something exciting to see at Bear Camp: mating rituals in early June, the famed salmon hunts in July, and getting ready to hibernate by August.
For a truly unforgettable experience, staying at Bear Camp, an actual glamping setup within the park, presents visitors with prime viewing opportunities for these majestic creatures during sunrise or sunset.
Safety measures aside, guided bear safaris allow one to watch the beasts in their natural rhythms without distorting them, a sure adventure of a lifetime.
