Overview
Begin your wilderness adventure with a scenic floatplane flight.
Be sure to have your camera ready as you glide over amazing landscapes and look out for marine wildlife below before touching down at Waterfall Creek.
This is a relatively unknown, remote wilderness location that provides unmatched brown bear viewing during the peak of the salmon run, late July-August.
After landing, disembark from the floatplane and wave goodbye to the Alaskan bush pilot. The primary viewing spot is a short walk down the rocky shoreline.
Follow the sounds of the waterfall and splashing salmon, as the guide hikes the group to the viewing location.
Brown bears may be seen at any time while ashore. The guide will direct you to the best spots for viewing and photography.
Groups will spend most time seated, quiet, and still to enhance the opportunities of seeing bears.
While we do occasionally have close encounters, our goal is for the bears to ignore us and engage in their natural behaviors.
After enjoying four hours of brown bear viewing, hike back to where your floatplane is waiting to whisk you back to Juneau.
This is truly an Alaskan wilderness adventure!
