Q&A

Q: What should we wear for the bear viewing tour? Is it cold or do we need to dress in layers?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can get chilly up in the air and near the park, even if it's warm in Anchorage. I'd recommend a good waterproof jacket, sturdy shoes, and maybe a hat. You might get a little muddy depending on where the bears are, so be prepared for that too. Oh, and bring sunglasses—glare off the glaciers is no joke!

Q: Is there an age limit for this excursion? I'm thinking of gifting it to my kids.

A: Great question! There isn't a strict age limit, but they recommend it for kids 10 and up due to the nature and length of the tour. It's a long day, and you want them to enjoy it. Just make sure they can handle being in the small plane and sitting quietly while watching the bears. Also, check with the provider; they might have specific age recommendations.

Q: What if the weather doesn't cooperate? Can we reschedule?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if the weather is not suitable for flying. Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable, but the guides are experienced and will prioritize your safety. Just make sure to keep in contact with Alaska Air Service; they’ll guide you through the process and help you find a new date. No extra fees for rescheduling if it's due to poor weather!

Just booked the Bear Viewing Excursion—any tips?

So, I just booked the Bear Viewing and Airplane Adventure Tour in Anchorage for my partner’s birthday! I'm super excited but also a bit nervous about the flight part. I’m wondering if anyone has tips for making the most of the bear viewing? What should we keep an eye out for? Also, anything specific I should know about the lunch? Thanks!

Anyone tried the Bear Viewing Tour? How was it?

I’m thinking of gifting the Bear Viewing and Airplane Adventure to my brother for his graduation. Has anyone done this yet? What was your experience like? Were the bears active? How’s the scenery? I really want to surprise him with something memorable!
