Experience the bears of Chichagof Island with Juneau's premier wilderness tour operator! This is our peak season bear viewing trip to watch the bears in their natural habitat while they fish below a large waterfall. We depart the Juneau airport and fly over Admiralty Island on our way to our bear viewing area on Chichagof Island. Here we will watch the bears for 2.5hrs+ before returning to Juneau on another beautiful flight over the Tongass National Forest. This trip is led by an expert local guide who has spent their life exploring this area! All of our trips are carbon-negative, culturally rich, and environmentally responsible! Private trips with extra flightseeing are available by advanced request, contact us directly for more information. Come and experience the famous Alaskan Brown Bear in our beautiful wilderness!

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the bear viewing trip?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but younger kids should be able to stay seated during the flight and follow the guide’s instructions. It's generally recommended for kids 6 and up, but if you think your child is ready for an adventure, go for it! Just be sure to check with the tour operator beforehand if you have specific concerns.

Q: What should I wear for this bear viewing experience?

A: You’ll want to dress in layers since it can be cool and windy out by the waterfall. They provide rain gear and rubber boots, but it’s a good idea to wear a comfy base layer and a warm jacket. Bring a hat and gloves too, just in case!

Q: What if the weather is bad? Can we reschedule?

A: Yes, if the weather is really bad, they will offer to reschedule or provide a refund. They prioritize safety over everything, so it’s a good idea to stay flexible. Just keep an eye on the forecast and you should be good!

Thinking of gifting the bear viewing trip, any advice?

I’m looking to get this bear viewing by seaplane experience for my boyfriend’s birthday. He loves wildlife and this seems perfect! Just wondering if anyone has done it? Should I book it now or wait until closer to the date? Also, did you really see bears up close? What’s it like?

Just did the bear viewing trip! Here’s my experience!

OMG, this bear viewing by seaplane was amazing! We flew over Admiralty Island and saw the gorgeous scenery. The bears were incredible! We spent 2.5 hours just watching them fish. The guide was super knowledgable, made the experience even better. Totally worth the price! Highly recommend it.
