Take a spectacular bush plane flight from Homer (approx. 1.5hrs), travelling over active volcanoes and glaciers to the wild east coast of Katmai National Park.
Landing right on the beach, you will disembark with your experienced wildlife guide to spend around 3 hours exploring the coastline and meadows, in search of brown bears in their natural habitat. From a safe distance you may observe grizzlies fishing, digging for clams, grubbing for roots and grasses, socialising or raising their young. You may also see foxes, bald eagles and a variety of marine life, before flying back to Homer.
Get intimate with North America's highest peak. Hop on a scenic flight and take in nature at it's wildest. From flood plains and braided rivers to dense forest and snow capped mountains – pure awe.
