What a fabulous day, the bears couldn't have got any closer, one adult bear actually sniffed the shoe of one of the guys on our trip, I will never forget this day. We spent 6 weeks in Alaska sightseeing and this trip to Katmai with Bald Mountain Air Services was by far my best. We are heading back again this... More

This ended up being the very last activity of my two week visit to Alaska and while I enjoyed everything I did there, I all I can say is wow! Unlike Denali where you see Grizzly Bears from a distance most of the time that is not the case at Katmai. But to get there you have to fly over.... More

I used Bald Mountain Air to fly over to Katmai for a day of bear viewing. This was by far the highlight of my entire Alaska vacation! Gary did a fantastic job of preparing everyone & guiding us to the brown bears. I greatly recommend spending the money to take this tour & enjoy hours just feet away from Alaskan... More

If you are looking to have an unforgettable experience in Alaska - bear viewing at Katmai National Park is one way to do it. The trips are by air as there is no roads to get you to Katmai. The trips are not cheap, but the experience is incredible. Bald Mountain Air service had great service, entertaining flight and good... More

We used Bald Mountain Air to go to Katmai National Park & Preserve to go bear viewing. Although the trip was pricey at $635 per person, it was truly worth every dime. We were given a very good pre-orientation the day before the trip at the office on the spit in Homer and told what to wear and where and... More

This was the best adventure of our 6 week holiday. We flew out to the National Park in a float plane. After wading off the plane in hip boots we spent the rest of the day as close as 5 yards from these bears. Initially it was the mum and cub then when the big fella arrived mum showed him... More
