Ketchikan Bear Watching Tour Highlights:
- Every tour is designed according to daily conditions to provide the best possible viewing of Misty Fjords and wild bears.
- Every passenger has a window seat to maximize the sighting of humpback whales and orcas in the sea, as well as mountain goats in alpine heights.
- Your experienced pilot provides narration customized for the day’s route. Also, passengers use two-way headsets to ask questions and talk to each other.
- Our objective is to put you close to wild bears by landing near their foraging areas. Usually, on grassy saltwater shorelines, but sometimes on alpine lakefronts.
- Bear sightings are usual on this tour but are not guaranteed. Our pilots’ knowledge of bears’ seasonal behavior and daily overflights in Misty Fjords offer your best odds for viewing bears.
- When we touch down for bear viewing, we will float quietly as close as we can to the bears while ensuring that you are safe and the bears are not disturbed. Bears have keen senses of hearing and smell; noises and strong fragrances can frighten them.
- From the safety of the aircraft’s floats, marvel at nature’s handiwork and get plenty of photos. Then, fire up the engine and enjoy the second half of your Air and Bears flightseeing excursion.
