Following the Bears Trail
Brown bears are known for their dynamic movements in search of fish. We pride ourselves on following the bears trail, ensuring you are always at the right place at the right time. As the bears move where the fish are, we move with them, maximizing your chances to witness remarkable bear behavior. We also have some hidden areas less known by other tour groups.
Daily Fly Outs to Iconic Locations
Embark on daily fly-outs by float plane to iconic locations such as Brooks Falls and Funnel Creek. These strategic locations are chosen based on the bears current activities, providing you with diverse and exceptional photographic opportunities. Each day brings a new adventure, capturing the bears in their habitat.
Modern Lodge and Gourmet Meals
After exhilarating days in the field, return to the comfort of a modern lodge nestled in the heart of nature. Relax in well-appointed accommodations and enjoy gourmet meals that cater to your senses. Our lodge provides the perfect balance of luxury and wilderness, offering you a rejuvenating space to recharge for the next days adventure.
