An extremely well operated air service, which focuses on taking its customers to various Alaska Brown bear viewing spots. I think they mostly fly to Chinitna Bay where there is a good concentration of bears during the spring, summer and fall. We traveled in the fall just as the salmon were spawning and we were overwhelmed by how many bears... More

We were almost fogged out of our trip but the pilot's waited and then like magic just before they were ready to call it a day all the fog lifted and we went on our magical journey landing on the water at Brooks Falls. Geat experience.

We left Italy the 1 of August 2012 to go to Alaska with the intention to take a bear viewing tour in Homer and after reading comments on Trip we chose K-Bay Air. At 6:30 in the morning seeing how nice the weather was from our balcony at the comfortable KENAI PENINSULA SUITES we tried to call to check on... More

Dee is one sharp lady and was right on top of her profession when we flew out with them in August 2012 - if SierraPardey is just now doing a review from 14 months ago maybe details are not as clear as I know K Bay AIr is so safe and is rated the number one bear viewing business for... More

We traveled to the national park on our excursion. The weather was rainy as expected, but we were impressed with the flight, guide, and scenic views of the bears with the glaciers in the background. It was great to be able to watch the bears in the streams so incredibly close (but we didn't feel like we were at risk... More

We had an unusual experience; our plane got a flat tire when we landed on the beach. We understand that this is out of the control of the company, but their response to the situation was just terrible. There were 5 of us plus the pilot initially, and the pilot seemed to only be able to deal with the situation... More

Hello Salt Lake City, I was surprised by your review and confused. You did not travel with us in July of 2012. Due to the negativity of the review, the fact that we have never had a crisis, and because we had no exceptional incidences or overnight stays on the beach this year (2012), I at first thought you must...

We had a great experience with Bear Adventures. The staff was well trained and the trip was well organized and planned. We saw plenty of bears, many very close. It's not inexpensive but if you are going to be in Alaska you have to take this trip and Bear Adventures is the way to go.

My father and I took a trip in mid-August with K-Bay Air for an afternoon departure. The weather was overcast, but clear enough to fly over to Lake Clark N.P. Our pilot/guide Jared took us up right next to several glaciers by a volcano as we made our way over to the landing strip. The flight over was very smooth... More
