Unbelievable! Add this to your bucket list! We put ourselves in Trent’s hands, and were not disappointed. The absolute highlight of our entire 2-week trip to Alaska. When the weather didn’t cooperate for Plan A to Katmai, Trent proposed & we agreed to Plan B, Crescent Lake. This tiny portion of Lake Clarke NP gave us captivating & up close (20-30 yards on a pontoon boat) views of bears fishing & eating salmon. The highlight was a family of 4 brown bears, mother & triplet 2-year old bears. We saw them swimming, playing, growling over salmon, climbing into empty boats, and generally at home on the shore. We learned a great deal about the location, salmon, brown bears, and living in the moment. All in a setting that can only be described as heavenly: turquoise water, lush green forests, snow-topped mountain (Redoubt), sockeye salmon slowly coming to their life’s end after spawning, brown bears actively in & out of the water, a juevenile bald eagle perched & watchful. A stunning show of nature & the right time to visit the right place. Do not hesitate! Book this now!

Fantastic experience! Absolutely worth it. The flight on the water plane and all the bear action was so worthwhile.

A long overdue review. We visited in July 2020 and originally scheduled a Brooks Falls bear flight but the park was shut down due to covid. So we audibled to a bear flight to Katmai. To say it was incredible would be an understatement. We flew about an hour (with amazing water and mountain scenery on the way) and dropped into a lake in the middle of the park, then walked a short way to the river. It was literally unbelievable how many bears we saw and how close we were to them. We saw them catching fish, fighting, relaxing, etc. right up close, yet we felt completely safe the whole time. Out of two amazing weeks we spent in Alaska, the bear tour was probably the highlight.
