See The Bears at Big River Lakes

The bear viewing trips at Big River Lakes can only be summed up with one phrase: up close & personal. Either our DeHavilland Otter or our Cessna Caravan will whisk you away from our Soldotna floatplane base, and within 30 minutes your adventure will begin. With your Full Day Experience (approx. 6 hrs.), you'll need to bring several extra rolls of film, camera batteries and portable smartphone charges because the action can be nonstop during your visit. Alaskan brown and black bears are there to fish for sockeye salmon and teach their cubs how to eventually do their own fishing. We can get you as close as 30 feet from these magnificent animals in the complete safety of your guide's boat while they go about their business of fishing and relaxing.

All that doesn't even begin to touch on the expansive and beautiful wilderness that you'll have at your fingertips, along with other wildlife like eagles, moose, and so much more. Our bear viewing fly-in trips are well equipped to provide you with life-lasting memories. If you have any questions, we'd love to hear from you. Otherwise, we can't wait to take you into the wild.
