Day Tour I Overnight Tour I Two Nights at Brooks Lodge

Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park is world renown for incredible bear viewing opportunities. We have developed several packages from one day to multiple days, with the opportunity for several trips to view bears, as well as an optional guided bus tour to the Valley of 10,000 Smokes.   Reliable bear viewing at Brooks Falls takes place from late-June through July and again from late-August until mid-September.  These are the times when the salmon are spawning in the Brooks River, and bear activity is at its peak. Bear viewing is also possible in early to mid-August, but bears appear in lesser numbers.
