Bear Viewing Excursions from Anchorage
Redoubt Bay Bear Viewing

Your adventure begins from Lake Hood seaplane
base with a scenic flight across Cook Inlet to
the foothills of the Aleutian Mountains. The
plane will land on the lake near the rustic,
wooden Redoubt Bay Lodge, where your guide will
greet your for your tour. You will travel by
boat to the best locations for spotting bears.
From the safety of the boat, you will be able to
get close to the bears for viewing and
photography. Various Alaska bird species such as
the Tulc goose and Trumpeter swans are also
found along this coastal area. Enjoy your tour
as your guide discusses life on the last
frontier, where wild animals still roam freely,
sometimes just yards from the front door. Tour
includes roundtrip float plane flight Anchorage
to Redoubt Bay, guided bear viewing and homemade
lunch. Morning and afternoon departures
available.
