Q&A

Q: Can I bring my 6-year-old on the bear viewing tour, and is it safe?

A: Yes, kids as young as 6 can join the tour, and it’s generally safe as long as you follow the guide's instructions. The certified guides are experienced and know how to keep everyone safe while enjoying the bears from a distance. Just make sure your child is comfortable and can stay quiet during the viewing.

Q: What should we wear for the bear viewing tour, and what's the weather like in Juneau?

A: Definitely dress in layers! Juneau can be chilly and wet, so a waterproof jacket and sturdy shoes are a must. The rain gear is provided, but you might want to wear comfortable clothes underneath. Also, check the forecast before you go since conditions can change quickly around here.

Q: How does the floatplane flight work, and is it worth it?

A: The floatplane flight is a huge part of the experience! You'll get beautiful views of the coastline and mountains as you fly to Waterfall Creek. It’s smooth and quick, about 30 minutes. Totally worth it for the scenery alone, plus it adds to the adventure! Just make sure to keep your camera ready.

Just booked the bear viewing tour at Waterfall Creek!

I just snagged spots for the bear viewing tour, and I’m super excited! We’re taking our kids (6 and 9), and I heard the guides are amazing. The floatplane ride sounds awesome too, but I just hope the weather cooperates. Anyone else done this recently? What was your experience like?

Thinking of gifting the bear viewing tour!

I’m considering giving my parents the bear viewing tour for their anniversary. They love wildlife and have been wanting to visit Alaska. Just not sure if it’s feasible for them since they’re in their late 60s. Anyone know if it’s physically demanding or any restrictions?
