ALASKA BEAR VIEWING
Traitors Cove Bear Viewing Tour
Take a short 20-minute flight over the lush wilderness of the Tongass
National Forest and arrive 
at Traitors Cove. You’ll
be met at the dock by your personal Alaska bear viewing guide and driven about a
quarter mile into the forest to the Margarite Creek Bear Viewing observatory
platform. After a short, easy walk up to the wildlife viewing platform, you’ll
be at a prime location to see Alaska’s REAL fisherman! Black bears can be seen
plunging into the rushing water to eat wild salmon that are going upstream to
spawn. Besides bears feeding, you’ll also likely see Bald Eagles, as well as the
salmon battling their way 
upstream. Your naturalist/guide will answer
any questions you have about the local wildlife, flora and fauna.
The U.S. Forest Service restricts access to Margarite Observatory by permit,
so only small numbers of visitors have the opportunity to visit this incredible
site. It’s not to be missed.

The best of Alaska’s wildlife ... up close ... with SeaWind Aviation’s Wildest Alaska tour.
It’s for only six people, and it’s only through August. If you thought you couldn’t experience Alaska’s best flightseeing and wildlife viewing in less than three hours ... you just didn’t know about the Wildest Alaska tour.
Our exclusive tour features flightseeing and a guided wildlife adventure. SeaWind Aviation flies you across Clarence Strait to the rugged east coast of Prince of Wales Island, where our partners at a remote lodge pick you up at their dock. Ryan and Angie run their lodge amid a teeming summertime menagerie of wild creatures. Ryan takes you out in an open 22-foot skiff with comfortable captains chairs for an extreme close-up look at bears. Our new 6 passenger boat also has a convertible cover. Then you go farther out for a view of rocky small islands. You’ll see seals and sea lions and many eagles. On a lucky day, whales are passing by just offshore. Ryan’s enthusiasm and long Alaskan experience make this the best possible personalized wildlife tour. Back at the dock, you enjoy a light snack and drink prepared by Angie. Then you’re in the air back to Ketchikan with priceless photos and memories.

Bear advisory: Since we’re dealing with Mother Nature, there are no guarantees that you will see bears on either of these tours, however the chances are very good. If we know that the bears are not too active in the area you intend to fly, we’ll be honest with you and let you know before you book your tour. If you go on a tour and don’t see any bears, we cannot provide a refund.
Flightseeing tours to the Misty Fjords National Monument and bear tours in the Tongass National Forest are operated under permit issued by the USDA Forest Service.
All tours include pick-up and drop-off at the Ketchikan Visitors Information Center (the building behind our courtesy van) in front of our "Liquid Sunshine Gauge" located on the cruise ship dock.
