Our shortest flight is nothing short of incredible. Truly one of the most dynamic environments in the Seward area, no two trip to Bear Glacier are the same.
We'll head south toward Bear Glacier Lagoon where you'll find icebergs larger than life floating in deep blue waters, and the longest glacier fed by the Harding Icefield. Making a loop, we will fly up Bear Glacier as it snakes between mountain peaks, and down Resurrection Valley finally landing at the Seward Airport.

Description
One of our premier bear viewing fly-in experiences is located in the wild and scenic Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. This rugged yet beautiful area comprises sleeping active volcanoes, ice fields and glaciers, and an abundance of wildlife with lakes and streams that are teeming with trout and salmon. The huge runs of sockeye and silver salmon migrate upstream to Crescent Lake and attract a very high concentration of brown bears to this area. This is where your adventure begins.
A short 40 minute flight from our seaplane base in Soldotna will fly you past Mount Redoubt, whose spectacular eruption entertained Alaskans and viewers across the world in 2009. While here, you'll have the possibility of seeing cubs, young adult bears and a number of big bruins whose presence commands immediate respect from all other bears. These bears are drawn to the lake shore where thousands of salmon are spawning in the shallows. And as spawned salmon die and drift back into the river outlet, more bears will travel the riverbank in search of an easy meal.
Lake Clark itself is a park that spans 4-million acres and is home to a veritable wealth of flora and fauna. In addition to the fish and bear populations, you may also catch a glimpse of moose, caribou, Dall Sheep, and even wolves. Schedule your trip today and prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the Alaskan wilderness.

We take pride in offering our guests the chance to embark on a wheeled bush plane adventure into the heart of Lake Clark National Park, spending a day observing these magnificent animals in their natural habitat.

Brooks Falls stands as a renowned bear sanctuary nestled in the heart of Katmai National Park, offering a captivating experience for wildlife enthusiasts. The Brooks River boasts one of the state's most impressive natural runs of Sockeye/Red and Coho/Silver salmon, attracting bears from miles around to feast on these high-protein fish and prepare for the upcoming winter hibernation. This unique setting provides an unparalleled viewing experience.
Embark on a breathtaking floatplane journey from Homer to the shores of Naknek or Brooks Lake (depending on wind conditions). Begin your photographic safari with a brief stop at the Park Ranger Station, situated on the edge of Naknek Lake, for a safety briefing from our amicable park ranger. Immerse yourself in the bear's natural habitat as you explore the boardwalks and trails, culminating in a close encounter with the falls where, most times, numerous bears are actively engaged in feeding. Check out the live feed video of the bears by following the link below.
