This is the site of Brooks Falls, the world’s most celebrated destination to view Alaskan brown bears in their natural habitat. It’s also only a short walk from our sister operation, Brooks Lodge .

Located in the heart of Katmai National Park (home to the highest concentration of protected brown bears on the planet), as many as fifty bears live along the mile and a half long Brooks River during the salmon season.

  • Bev As a solo traveler I usually veer towards group tours and make my decisions based on ratings. Greatland Adventures definitely lived up to their high ratings and awesome reviews. I have booked several tours with them. From the beginning it was a pleasurable experience with Steve and Rochelle who have excellent communication with their clients and ensure you are fully accommodated for your tour. I did the northern lights tour with Mike who is an excellent guide! Very knowledgeable and he captured some excellent photos of me! I completed the glacier tour with Bill who is also very knowledgeable and ensured we had a great experience at the glacier by getting us there before others arrived and allowing us to safe explore all the accessible crevasses. I absolutely recommend this tour company they are amazing!
  • Jane I want to sincerely applaud the members of Greatland Adventures! They made me and my friend's trip to Anchorage one of the most amazing experiences ever in our lives... We were all well educated about the lights before we got there and even had a chance to have a pitstop at a gas station to use the toilet and grab a coffee. We even saw the lights that night TWICE! Thank you, Steve! The memories we made will last a lifetime and we are so happy we chose Greatland Adventures. I am telling any and everyone that plans to visit Anchorage to book through them. No question!

Alaska Bear Viewing at Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park gives you the world famous views of Grizzly Bears catching wild salmon as they stand atop a waterfall. There is no picture quite like it. Brooks Falls bear viewing is the true definition of a wilderness destination. It is located in the heart of Katmai National Park in south west Alaska. This one of a kind bear habitat is sure to please whoever visits.

Alaska Bear Viewing Tour: Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park

Alaska Bear Viewing Tour: Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park

Your Katmai Bear Viewing Adventure Begins when you depart Anchorage on one of our aircraft and head south along the Cook Inlet.

You will fly either directly to Katmai via floatplane or on our twin engine aircraft and then via floatplane to Brooks Falls.  Both options take approximately 2.5 hours each way and offer much of the same sightseeing along the way. Either way once you land at Brooks you will get an equal amount of time on the ground to see the bears. (Approximately 4 hours)

Landing at Katmai you begin to see why Brown Bears choose to make this place their home. Salmon streams, mountain backdrops, large lakes, and thick forests surround you on this excursion. After getting out of the plane you will go through a quick bear orientation with one of the park rangers. From there it is off to explore this bear country. From the aircraft you will walk approximately 2 miles of easy walking through the park to a bear viewing platform which will provide you with shots of a lifetime of bears catching salmon as they make their way up Brooks Falls. 

At Regal Air we utilize a variety of aircraft including wheeled aircraft and float aircraft to get to Brooks Falls, sometimes including a transfer. Regardless of your aircraft you will fly essentially the same route, fly in a floatplane upon arriving at Brooks Camp, arrive late morning approximately 11pm and have at least four hours on the ground, and arrive back at Anchorage sometime between 5pm and 7pm. In this way we are able to provide a very similar experience for all our guests while maximizing our fleet and the number of seats available to us.

Please Contact Us today to book your Bear Viewing Tour of Katmai National Park .

What to Bring and Wear:

  • Comfortable Shoes – These do not have to be hiking shoes, but no open toed sandals.
  • Layered Clothing – Always be ready for any temperature range, bring a rain shell in case of rain

Check in:  Please check in at our Lake Hood Office 30 minutes prior to departure. For safety of weight and balance of the plane, we will need accurate weights of individuals or of the entire group.

Parking:  There is free, although limited parking at the Rust Office. You will need to leave your car keys with the office. Rust’s also picks up from major hotels. You are welcome to leave baggage at the Rust office at no additional charge.

What to bring:  Sunglasses, bug spray, camera and binoculars. Dress comfortably and in layers; Alaska weather can change dramatically. A sunny and warm day in Anchorage can turn windy, rainy, and cool in the National Park. Please bring prescription medications.

Other information:  Katmai National Park is in a remote area accessible only by plane so many of the common expectations of “civilization” are not available. You should bring essential medications with you and not plan plane connections on the same day of this trip. Additionally, if visiting Katmai is extremely important to you, please allow time in your schedule for possible rescheduling of this trip. Rust’s flies through two mountain passes to reach Katmai and this trip does sometimes cancel due to weather.

It should be mentioned that the smokes smoked out many years ago and the few smoking vents are only visible in a relatively inaccessible part of the park.

The federally-protected Katmai National Park and Preserve is world famous for Alaska brown bear viewing. Accessible only by air, this is Alaska wilderness in its rawest form.

Our fly out Katmai bear viewing adventure takes you to Brooks Falls, where three bear viewing platforms connected by elevated boardwalks allow for close, unobstructed and extraordinary bear viewing in Katmai National Park.

Katmai National Park History

Formally known as Katmai National Monument, Katmai National Park and Preserve was proclaimed a National Monument in 1918 after the eruption of Novarupta (now known as the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes). In 1950, the National Park Service stationed a full-time ranger in the park and began construction on Brooks Camp ranger station; that original building is now the Visitors Center.

Tourism increased dramatically in the 1950's after aviation pioneer, Raymond Petersen, established several camps around the Katmai region. In the beginning, most visitors were sport fishermen but as word spread of Katmai’s brown bears during the 1980’s, the Brooks River became a popular wildlife viewing destination.

It is estimated that there are around 2,200 bears in Katmai National Park, with the total number of bears exceeding the population of people on the entire Alaska Peninsula. However, there is an unusually high concentration of brown bears around rivers from July to September as they congregate to feed on spawning salmon, making Brooks Falls bear viewing tours the perfect trip for seasonal adventurers.

katmai bear tours from anchorage

Watching bears in the wild is one of the most fascinating natural spectacles. Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park is a perfect place to see bears. There are almost 2000 brown bears in this area and the chance of seeing them is particularly high in July and September when the bears come to catch salmon on the fish rich river. One salmon after the other the skilled hunters fish from the river and often they only have to open their mouths to catch one of the jumping salmon. A real feast for the bears and a joy to watch. From Anchorage you fly to King Salmon or Kulik and continue by seaplane to Brooks Camp. From the lodge you can reach the spectacular viewing platforms in a few minutes, from where you have a perfect view of Brooks Falls and bears.

Daily in July and September 

Sarah, NY: Our family extended our stay in Anchorage specifically to visit Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park. We flew on a floatplane out of Anchorage. The flight is long but enjoyable and we ended up having 4-5 hours in Katmai. Brooks Falls was a tremendous experience. The brown bears were actively feeding on salmon in the Falls and we could observe from a nearby platform. The park rangers were very helpful and informative. Check out one of the active webcams especially during the month of July. Truly one of the highlights of a great trip.

A full-day bear viewing trip like no other, this tour departs from the Lake Hood Seaplane Base in Anchorage. The flight path traces over the Cook Inlet, alongside the volcanoes of Lake Clark National Park, and across two mountain passes in the southernmost expanse of the Alaska Range. The pilot provides narration intermittently throughout the flight, pointing out landmarks and chatting about local area features and history. The two- to three-hour flight ends with a water landing on either Lake Brooks or Naknek Lake.

See some of Alaska's largest bears.

The first step after arriving in Katmai is attending the park's required bear safety orientation. Park rangers discuss bear behavior and detail the regulations in place to keep both bears and people safe. From here, it's just over a mile from the visitor center to the popular Falls Platform. An established trail winds through birch and spruce trees, passing through gates meant to deter bears, although seeing one ambling down the trail is not impossible. The subtle rushing sound of the river gets louder until a network of raised platforms comes into view. One path forks to the Riffles Platform, the other to the platform overlooking Brooks Falls.

Brown bears congregate in this natural bottleneck, staking out choice spots to fish and feast. These are some of Alaska's largest bears, fattened by an abundance of salmon. They wade in the clear water, plopping down in swirling rapids, and plunking their faces for a look below the surface. The platforms are close enough to see water trickling off their brown coats and the twitch of their noses as they sniff at the air. Occasionally a sow will come into view, trailed by spring or yearling cubs. Time can flash by in this mesmerizing setting, so keep a close eye on a watch. The trip concludes with a scenic flight back to Anchorage.

The chances of seeing bears in Katmai National Park are good but not guaranteed. July typically offers the best opportunities. Time spent on the ground at the park is self-guided. Because of the popularity of Katmai bear viewing and a relatively small falls viewing area, Katmai National Park Rangers may institute an onsite wait list at the Lower River platform to control the number of people and amount of time they spend there. This ultimately enhances the bear viewing experience. A new Brooks River bridge was installed in 2019 to help with congestion.

Flights between Anchorage and Katmai can sometimes be delayed or canceled due to weather. This is a remote location and the flight path goes through two mountain passes. Do not schedule this tour on the same day as a departure from Anchorage. On the day of the trip, prepare to be flexible as the tour operator adjusts to ensure the safest experience possible.

What to Bring

Much of the excursion is spent outside, so dress in layers, wear sturdy hiking boots that can get muddy, and take rain gear. Bring a camera, binoculars, and bug spray. As Katmai is an isolated location only accessible by plane, bring essential medications as well.

Special Instructions

Accurate passenger weight is required for aircraft weight and balance.

Transfers & Meeting Points

The trip departs from the tour operator's office at the Lake Hood Seaplane Base. Complimentary transportation to and from most major Anchorage hotels is provided. Limited parking is available. Passengers who drive in are asked to leave their keys with the tour operator front desk. Check in 30 minutes prior to tour departure.

"We had a nice trip without any mishaps. The bear viewing trip was the perfect way to end our vacation. Seeing all those bears coming down and scooping up salmon was amazing!"

Bear Viewing

Journey deep into bear territory on a wildlife-viewing charter to Brooks Falls or Katmai National Park. Fly-in adventures begin right in Anchorage. Denali National Park, Redoubt Bay, and McNeil River are all excellent places for bear viewing. That doesn’t mean you’ll have to go far to see the bears. They also live in the nearby Chugach Mountains and are occasionally spotted in Anchorage too.

Take a guided bear viewing trip from Anchorage via floatplane for an exhilarating and unforgettable experience. There’s nothing like viewing these magnificent, massive creatures in the wild. Katmai National Park & Preserve/Brooks Falls, located on the Alaska Peninsula, southwest of Anchorage, is one of the best places to watch brown bears in action.

Phew! Those bears were close! But want to get closer? For a safe look at bears eye-to-eye, head to the  Alaska Zoo . Brown, black, and polar bears all call the zoo home, not to mention many other arctic and subarctic creatures.

Feast like a bear. Bears have known how tasty Alaska fish is for thousands of year, but you’ll find out tonight! Wild Alaska salmon, halibut, and shellfish are revered around the world for their superior flavor and texture. From salmon quesadillas to alder-roasted salmon,  local restaurateurs  provide an unequaled feast from Alaska waters. 

Day Trips South of the City

A road trip south from Anchorage on the Seward Highway is filled with opportunities to explore glaciers and mountains, enjoy Turnagain Arm trails, watch for wildlife, and other Alaska adventures.

Wildlife in Anchorage

Spot everything from moose and bears to beluga whales, bald eagles, Dall sheep, and beyond on a wildlife watching tour of Anchorage.
