My husband and I were not disapointed in this wild experience! I centered a lot of our Alaskan vacation around this trip, and it met all of my expectations. It was an adventure, from the exciting flight in a 6 person plane (counting the pilot) with views of glaciers & circling an active volcano up close, to the acutal several... More

My husband and I did this trip last summer. We have amazing pictures. The whole experience was absolutely wonderful!! This is an absolute must for the outdoor, bear enthusiast!! The K Bay Air team was great. I would definitely do this again. As a matter of fact, we are going to try to go back to Alaska next summer &... More

What an experience! This is the airline to use. Friendly, professional and well equipped. They showed us bears and live vulcanos as an extra. They sometimes fly to Hallo Bay where there is another company working but do not even think of staying at Hallo Bay with the other company, see our comments under Hallo Bay. You can also download...

Yes its expensive about $600 each, but its all my husband has spoken about since we got back. You can;t put a price on that and will stay with you forever. The bears walked up to us literally only 3 metres or so away, and you could hear their claws digging up the clams on the beach. The mother bears... More

The entire experience was fabulous. The pilot/guide was professional and made us feel safe but at the same time the flight and bear adventure was exciting. We flew over the glacier and had a great up-close view of bears and a wolf - in a stand off with a bear. Many thanks from Nikki Petersen and Ernie Strong. More

This is a lifetime's experience: Fitted with "Alaskans sneakers" in a small airplane (Cessna 206) flying to Katmai National Park, landing on the beach between driftwood an low tide mud and there are the bears. Great animals, luckily uninterested in us humans. Now I understand why we shouldn't bring salmon for lunch: we had lunch within a few meters from... More

September 9 was the first clear sunny day in Homer in a week and we had chosen that day for our bear adventure. We departed about 2:30 in two Cessna 206 aircraft for Hallo Bay. Enroute we were up close and personal with a large, beautiful glacier. Upon arrival, we circled the area and observed many bears. After landing on... More

Worth the trip! We selected the day-long trip and spent the afternoon with brown bears, a hungry wolf and two very knowledgeable guides on Sept-1st. We researched this trip A LOT before selecting this company, reading reviews on TripAdvisor et al, and we were NOT disappointed. It is a high price-tag tour, but it is a once in a lifetime... More

It seemed like a lot of time and effort for a simple half-day tour. The warnings, the instructions on what to take and what not to take, the requirement that you be able to walk some distance (up to 3 miles) and in hip waders, right down to what you want for lunch. Then when you get there you have... More
