Multi-Day Tours

AK Adventures offers a full range of bear viewing and wildlife photography tours including day or multi-day trips. So depending on how much time you have to do a bear viewing trip, we have an option for you! All of our tours are fly-in trips to Katmai National Park and the Alaska Peninsula, which is world famous for bear viewing.

We guide tours from late May through September 15. When is the best time to come? There really is no bad to time to come, it's really more a matter of what best fits your schedule. In late May and June the bears are engaged in mating, mothers with cubs are grazing in grassy flats and meadows. In July when the salmon runs begin, the bears start changing their diet to that of salmon and in August the bears continue to feast on salmon. In September the season turns to fall the bears are now eating berries and any available salmon. All air transportation is from Homer to our remote camp. Click for Rates & Reservations information.

What to Expect

Departing from Homer - Your adventure begins in Homer. On the day of your trip, you will board a bush or float plane for the scenic flight across Cook Inlet to the eastern coast of the Alaskan Peninsula where our camp is located. The flight itself is an exciting part of any Alaskan adventure. We recommend that you arrive at least a day before to ensure that your luggage arrives and that you can call to confirm with the flight service your departure time. It also allows you an opportunity to shop for any last minute items you may need.

Safety First - All clients are given a bear safety orientation. Bears can show up at any time it is important to know how to act around them. All guides are certified in first-aid and CPR. A satellite phone and a VHF radio provide us with communications linking us to our pilots and the rest of the world. However all the technology in the world is no substitute for "common sense" your most valuable tool in the wilderness!

Physical Activity - These trips can be enjoyed by almost everyone! Most of the time is spent sitting watching and photographing bears. However it is possible to cover 2 to 5 miles of easy to moderate hiking in a day. So if you engage in some sort of regular physical activity or aerobic exercise than you will do fine on our trips.

Daily Hikes and Outings - Your natualist guide will plan the daily itinerary based upon by the interests of the group, physical condition of group, bear activity and weather.

Accommodations - For sleeping we use spacious (4 person), high quality expedition style tents. Each of these tents is used to house two people. They provide you with ample space for your gear, as well as a comfortable retreat should we get "weathered in".

Meals - Breakfasts and dinners are health consciously prepared and served family style. Lunch is usually sandwiches along with cookies or fresh fruit. Beverages such as coffee or tea are provided, however we do not provide alcoholic beverages.
