Private Bear Viewing at Waterfall Creek

r a 25-minute scenic floatplane flight from Juneau. Enjoy learning from your local certified guide about the bears and the nature of SouthEast Alaska. Mid-July til the end of September is when the bears go to work. The bears focus at this point is on fishing. The primary viewing location is about 5 yds from the creek with the fish, the waterfall about 75yds upstream slows the fish down and creates good fishing for the bears. Viewing is typically at 20-75yds but lucky groups my get to see bears catch and eat a fish even closer. This is when we often see the most bears in view at a given moment and the only time of year to get a picture of a bear with a fish in its mouth. Bald eagles, ravens, kingfisher, gulls, mink, and very occasionally Sitka deer are sighted on our trips. Sometimes whales and sea lions are spotted from the plane.
