Katmai Bear Viewing
Unrestricted floatplane access to the largest brown bear concentration on Earth.
Apex Predators.
Extreme Proximity.
The Katmai Peninsula hosts the densest population of Coastal Brown Bears globally. Because we are based directly on the edge of the park, our aircraft can deploy you to isolated coastal flats in under an hour. You will stand on elevated platforms mere feet away from 1,000-pound bears fighting for position over millions of spawning sockeye.

Wilderness Injection.
While Katmai offers world-class density, our aviation fleet allows us to audit coastal weather in real-time and pivot to secondary drainages if the primary zone is fogged in.
Katmai National Park
Access the famous Katmai ecosystem where dozens of massive brown bears congregate simultaneously to catch leaping sockeye.
Coastal Mudflats
Alternative low-tide fly-in access points along the Katmai coast to view bears digging for clams in total isolation.
Wilderness River Beats
For photography enthusiasts, we fly into remote river systems where bears can be observed in their completely natural habitat.
"You can smell the salmon in their fur. When a thousand-pound boar walks twenty feet in front of your camera lens, it changes how you look at the woods forever."
