Tours from the Kenai/Soldotna areas concentrate on traveling to Lake Clark National Park, seeing coastal brown bears along the shoreline. You will see breathtaking scenery, including mountains, glaciers, rivers, and lakes. You may also see moose, caribou, and countless bird species.

Tours from Homer include destinations such as Katmai and Lake Clark National Parks, seeing wild brown bears along the coastline. Both locations are two of the best places to see brown bears in their natural habitat. In addition to brown bears, visitors may see caribou, deer, wolves, moose, and many species of birds. There are also many beautiful landscapes to explore and take in, including glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and active volcanoes.

Tours from Anchorage include destinations such as Katmai and Lake Clark National Parks, seeing wild brown bears along the coastline. Both locations are two of the best places to see brown bears in their natural habitat. In addition to brown bears, visitors may see caribou, deer, wolves, moose, and many species of birds. There are also many beautiful landscapes to explore and take in, including glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and active volcanoes.

Tours from Kodiak focus on the coastal brown bear species, seeing brown bears along the Katmai coast and the subspecies of Kodiak brown bears on Kodiak Island. Both locations are two of the best places to see brown bears in their natural habitat. In addition to brown bears, visitors may see caribou, deer, wolves, moose, and many species of birds. There are also many beautiful landscapes to explore and take in, including glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and active volcanoes.

When most people envision Katmai, they think of bears. Katmai is one of the premier brown bear viewing areas in the world. About 2,200 brown bears are estimated to inhabit the park, and more bears than people are estimated to live on Alaska Peninsula.

As many bear populations around the world decline, Katmai provides some of the few remaining unaltered habitats for these amazing creatures. At Katmai, scientists are able to study bears in their natural habitat, visitors are able to enjoy unparalleled viewing opportunities, and the bears are able to continue their life cycle largely undisturbed.

Nurturing this relationship between people and bears is the key to Katmai's success as a bear-viewing destination. Rangers, scientists, and the public work together to maintaining this fragile balance. It is important that all who visit Katmai respect bears and are armed with the knowledge to stay safe in bear country. The urge to take the perfect photograph or maintain the best fishing hole with your fly rod can be strong, but bears need space to sleep, eat, rest, travel, and play. By recognizing the needs of the bears and giving them space, each of us plays a role in keeping bears wild.

A bear's waking hours are often dominated by their search for food. Outside of their denning season, bears predictably congregate in food rich areas throughout Katmai. Some areas of Katmai National Park, like the food rich Pacific coast, support some of the highest densities of bears ever documented. Other areas of the park with little food, such as the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, support only a few bears in any season.

If you know what foods bears prefer to eat and when that food is most abundant, accessible, and nutritious, then you will be able to find many areas in Katmai to observe these fascinating animals.

At Brooks Camp, brown bears congregate to feed on sockeye salmon in the Brooks River. Four wildlife viewing platforms along the river offer safe and spectacular wildlife viewing opportunities while minimizing our potential impact on the bears. For more information about bear watching at Brooks Camp, see Katmai's park guide, The Novarupta, or download the brochure, Bear Viewing at Brooks Camp.

There are many, many backcountry locations that offer bear watching opportunities in season. In fact, the Pacific Coast of the park harbors some of the highest densities of bears anywhere on the planet. However, thick vegetation and rugged terrain can make seeing those bears difficult.

For many people the most rewarding backcountry bear watching locations are where bears feed on sedges, clams, and salmon. In spring and early summer, bears migrate to open meadows to feed on sedges and dig for clams on the nearby mudflats. Later in the summer and fall, bears are more easily and consistently seen along salmon streams.

The table provided below shows the best typical times for bear viewing at a few specific and popular areas in Katmai National Park and Preserve.

"We rented Big Bear Views Lodge which has five bedrooms and I have to say it was the best experience ever. The cabin is beautiful and has plenty to do for the family and we got to see a mama bear and her three cubs in the morning when we were leaving it was just breathtaking there."

"Overall, a great stay! The cabin is very secluded and is beautiful inside and out. The views are spectacular and the family of visiting bears made everything all the more special. It was more than large enough for our group. Would recommend to anyone with a large group regardless of age."

"If you are looking for a place close to downtown, with plenty to keep a big family busy on rainy days and views to die for - this cabin is for you. We had 5 of kids 2of grandkids & parents - plenty of room for all. Best part was our daily visits from a bear family - they were so much fun to watch."

"We absolutely loved our stay! The cabin is amazing, beautiful, and the perfect size for a large family. All king size beds, super comfortable, and the one bedroom with bunkbeds contained queen size bunkbeds. Every bedroom had it's own bathroom (very roomy bedrooms and bathrooms), and the view was amazing! The cabin is just as it's pictured and had everything we needed. Kitchen was fully stocked. The game room was so much fun! Pool table, buck shot, race car game, and pac man! How cool is that! We had a blast in it! The movie room was awesome! Huge tv, and the theatre seating was super comfortable. This is a 3 story cabin and each floor had it's own balcony, which was a huge plus, with rocking chairs, and little tables. Super clean (except for a few bugs in the tubs in the rooms upstairs). Comfortable nice couches in the living room, upstairs in the game room, and down stairs in the movie room. The cabin is like 2 minutes from downtown, and you can see the cabin from Anakeesta (which is a must do in Gatlinburg)! We would definitely like to try out the next 2 cabins over, next time, and we would definitely stay here again (just hoping the hot tub works for the next stay). Thanks, we had a wonderful family vacation!" 006ab0faaa
