Overview

During your trip, you will venture through parts of Alaska that very few people have ever set foot in. You will do this while trekking amongst the wildlife; Alaska Bears.

EXCLUSIVE FLY-IN OVERNIGHT BEAR ADVENTURE

An exclusive, small group tour led by highly-experienced Bear Guides to the most natural, undisturbed Bear habitat in Alaska. These bears have not been surrounded by 4-wheelers, planes, or other noisy gasoline powered vehicles. These bears have not been stalked by droves of loud groups of people. Theses bears go about their day in the pure bliss and solitude that nature affords them. We hike quietly, and tread lightly within their habitat to keep the rawness, and realness of this natural beauty as pristine as Mother Nature made it.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Your Experience begins in Kenai, when you arrive at our flight office for your pre-trip briefing and check-in. You will take to the skies in one of our professionally maintained, and flown Alaska bush aircraft. The flight is exhilarating, and you will have the opportunity to see snowcapped volcanoes, massive glaciers, and even some wildlife. Soon you’ll touch down in the backcountry on the west side of Cook Inlet in an exclusive bear habitat.

There’s always the chance that the bears may greet us near the airplane as they frequently roam the area. Once we locate the bears, typically within a mile or two hike, we will watch them, we will gaze upon them in awe. We will study their behavior and let them know we appreciate them allowing us to walk amongst them in their natural domain.

Our Alaska Bear Adventure tours are completely freestyle and unscripted. The bears do not have a script, therefore we will not either. We will roam the area watching the bears, and moving around through this environment as we gain various vantage points, and new viewing opportunities.

The environment is rich with wildlife, and we often see brown bears, and black bears, as well as the occasional meandering moose.
