🐾 Why Choose KBA for Your Bear Safari?
🧭 Dedicated Bear Guides
Unlike many operators, our guides aren’t pilots splitting focus — they’re experienced wilderness professionals whose only job is keeping you safe and leading deeply immersive bear encounters.
🐻 Private, Crowd-Free Access
We own exclusive access to one of Alaska’s richest bear habitats. No platforms. No fences. No tour buses. Just your group and the wild.
✈️ Scenic Flights Included
Your journey begins with a breathtaking bush plane flight over glaciers, volcanoes, and rugged coastline — a spectacular adventure in itself.
🌿 Intimate Group Size = Real Connection
With only three guest cabins, group sizes stay intentionally small. That means quieter encounters, more time with your guide, and a more meaningful connection with the land and wildlife.
🔥 True Wilderness, Not Luxury “Tourism”
Our lodge is rustic — outhouse, dry cabins, simple comforts — but what you gain is priceless: uninterrupted time in bear country, something luxury lodges with crowds can’t deliver.
📸 Once-in-a-Lifetime Moments
From golden-hour evenings with foraging bears to panoramic coastal backdrops, your photos will capture stories few travelers ever get to tell.
