Departing from Homer in one of our Cessna 206s, we fly you either to Lake Clark National Park or Katmai National Park. Don’t hurry though because on the flight over, keep an eye out the window as you may be able to see several volcanos that are a part of the “Ring of Fire” and some unforgettable scenery.
After approximately 45 minutes to an hour, you will begin descending into one of the most remote national parks. Here you will spend 3 hours on the ground viewing bears with your pilot, who is also your trained naturalist bear guide. Depending on the season you may find the Alaskan coastal brown bears in a few different areas. Being that eating food is one of their main priorities during the summer, between May and July, many of these bears are in the fields grazing on sedge grass, or if the tide is out they are scavenging and digging for clams. Salmon typically start to run in the coastal areas around mid-July through the end of summer.
When it is time to head back home, as long as the weather is safe, we like to do an additional “flight-see” on the way home. This includes flying you and the rest of our guests through the mountains and valleys, around volcanos, and we can’t forget about the glaciers!
