Alaska Bear Viewing

"We had a wonderful time, especially on the Anan Creek excursion. It was incredible and the pilot was great! We highly recommend this tour. People we talked to on the cruise who booked their excursions through the boat had totally different experiences...in Ketchikan they took them to Neets, as booked, and there were zero bears (which is what our guides said would be the case and that is whey they changed ours to Anan Creek). Needless to say, we were glad we had used your agency.

We will pass your name on to friends who are traveling to Alaska. I am so glad I found you.

Thanks for your help."

Alaska Bear Viewing Excursions

If you love animals and you love nature, bear watching is a great adventure for you. Imagine standing by one of the biggest and most powerful animals in the world. You will be able to see them in their natural habitat. Watch them eat, watch them as they interact with their cubs, and see their towering presence. Sound like your cup of tea? Then its time for you to go on an Alaska bear tour.

A trip to Alaska offers you some of the best opportunities to view these magnificent creatures, but you have to know where to look and when to look. Since this state has such a huge bear population, where do you start looking? The secret is that bears love salmon. Find the salmon going up river or creek to spawn and you will find bears tracking them down. The question is which river or creek and this is where our expertise comes in to play.

The tour operators below know which rivers and creeks the salmon are coming up and thusly know where the bears will be. They offer Alaska bear viewing in small groups, which means you will have a better chance of viewing the bears up close. Large groups that go out looking for these animals often come back disappointed because the large groups scare them off. When you go with them, you will be able to go back to the cruise ship amazed by your experience and have great stories to tell about your adventure.

These tour operators are experts in their field, which makes them a great choice when looking for an adventure. When you use them, you will get:

	Their expertise so your chances of seeing the animals will be greatly increased
	Access to the best spots so you will have success on your adventure
	All of the necessary arrangements made for you so you will be ready to go when you get to port
