Our remote brown bear viewing camp is located on the shores of Cook Inlet in a rugged wilderness. With towering mountains behind and shimmereing waters ahead, the location is truely spectacular.
Accessible only by boat or plane, it has been a homesteaders dream for years and years. In the early spring, female brown bear (Ursos Arctos) leave their dens with young in tow, to feed on the succulent grasses found around our camp. This allows us the opportunity to view and photograph the magnificent animals.
Like the grasses and salmon that they feed upon, the bears are transitory- one day trips May, June and July only, with overnights throughout the season (6/1-9/10).
The number of bears seen on each trip differs, with the possibility of seeing none- however the camp’s incredible location, great staff and the flight into and out of camp alone are worth the price of admission. (Alaskan weather can ocassionally cancel flights)
The camp itself sits in the trees between the mountains and the shoreline- custom “weather-port” cabin/tents are on raised platforms and sleep two with wooden floors, solid doors, propane heaters and twin beds and porta potties (showers are available).
Meals are family style featuring fresh seafood, meats and pasta, and wine.
You will fly in five and six passenger Cessna 207’s, landing on the shoreline right in front of the camp. During the flight you will pass over towering mounatins and rugged glaciers, often spotting bear and moose along the way.

Plan on having some great photo opportunities- it is a fantastic flightseeing trip that includes a fly-by of Mount Iliamna, a recently active volcano.
