Bear Viewing in Ketchikan

Traitors Cove Bear Viewing Tour

Take a short 20-minute flight over the lush wilderness of the Tongass National Forest and arrive at Traitors Cove. You’ll be met at the dock by your personal Alaska bear viewing guide and driven about a quarter mile into the forest to a Bear Viewing observatory platform. After a short, easy walk up to the platform, you’ll be at a prime location to see Alaska’s REAL fisherman! Black bears can be seen plunging into the rushing water to eat wild salmon that are going upstream to spawn. Besides bears feeding, you’ll also likely see Bald Eagles, as well as the salmon. Your guide will answer any questions you have about the local wildlife, flora and fauna.

The U.S. Forest Service restricts access to Margarite Observatory by permit, so only small numbers of visitors have the opportunity to visit this incredible site.
Bear advisory:  Since we’re dealing with Mother Nature, there are no guarantees that you will see bears on this tour, however the chances are very good.

Anan Creek Bear Viewing

Enjoy a memorable journey by floatplane over the deep blue waters of Boehm Canal and the wild beauty of the Cleveland Peninsula. Upon landing, you will hike along Anan Creek on a boardwalk and stair walkway to a bear observatory that overlooks one of the largest concentrations of grizzlies and black bears to be found anywhere in Alaska.   In addition to bears, other wildlife, such as seals, are often spotted during the landing on Anan Bay in Bradfield Canal.
