Tour 106

A bear viewing tour departing directly from Anchorage! The animals are reached by seaplane from Anchorage and your departure is from Lake Hood, situated within minutes from most downtown hotels. The tour includes a scenic flight across Cook Inlet to the foothills of the Aleutian Mountains. The plane lands on a lake near the rustic, wooden lodge and on arrival you are greeted by your guide. In this perfect Alaskan setting, Redoubt Bay Lodge sits against a backdrop of rugged mountains. Only a short flight from Anchorage, yet here city life seems a world away. With your guide you travel by boat to the best locations for spotting bears. Lunch is provided at the lodge, and with time to relax your hosts may tell you about life on the last frontier, where wild animals still roam freely, sometimes just yards from their front door.
