Bear Viewing Location - Katmai/Lake Clark National Parks |
||||||
 |

 |
 |
We depart on our bear viewing tours from Homer, Alaska and fly about 120 nautical miles southwest to land on one of several beaches that border Katmai/Lake Clark National Parks. We then join the bears in the park on foot.
Our flight takes around 1.5 hours and the scenery between Homer and Katmai/Lake Clark coast is breathtaking. On clear days you will see glaciers, active volcanoes, waterfalls, occasionally whales and of course bears.
Katmai/Lake Clark National Parks are the best place in the world to view grizzly bears. Katmai has an approximate population of 3,000 grizzly bears (compared to only 300 in Denali).
Bear viewing in Katmai/Lake Clark National Parks is also ideal because large numbers of bears congregate on the coast around food sources such as clams, sedge grass meadows and salmon runs.
The Katmai/Lake Clark National Park coast is home to many other animals and it is common to see bald eagles and foxes in addition to grizzly bears. On lucky days we might see wolves, harbor seals, shore birds and moose. Katmai/Lake Clark National Parks are only accessible by boat or bush plane. Landing on a beach surrounded by Alaskan wilderness and wild grizzly bears is an experience that leaves most visitors truly awestruck. |
