Exclusive Pack Creek Bear Viewing from Juneau

Overview

Come join us for an unforgettable brown bear viewing adventure at the renowned at Pack Creek Bear Sanctuary. Your day kicks off with a breathtaking 25-minute floatplane flight to Pack Creek. Known as the "Fortress of the Bears," Admiralty Island holds the Tlingit name Kootznoowoo, and it lives up to its title with an impressive brown bear population of approximately 1,800. Upon arrival, you'll receive a warm welcome from the dedicated rangers of Pack Creek. Afterwards, you'll tread the same paths as the bears, exploring the shoreline and forest trails that lead to prime brown bear viewing spots.

From the banks of Pack Creek, you'll have the incredible opportunity to observe bears in their natural habitat, whether they're engaged in salmon fishing or enjoying a nap in the tall grass. Brown bears are most active during mating season (late May - June) and annual salmon runs (late July - August). Kayaking is included in the tour from June 20th to July 20th due to limited bear activity.

Fun float plane ride with stunning views (including hump backs bubble net feeding). Our guide, Brooke, was upbeat, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. We got some amazing photos of multiple bears and even had a close up encounter with a sow and her two cubs. We would definitely recommend this day trip and ask for Brooke!

Absolutely the best day ever! The views from the plane were gorgeous and of course the bears eating salmon stole the show. Really appreciate our guide Brooke, she was so friendly and knew so much about the bears we saw.

When in Juneau this is an absolute highlight. The sea plane flight was exquisite and the bear viewing an incredible opportunity to experience wildlife. Arthur our guide, was both incredibly knowledgable of the bears, but also as a professional photographer, he was a huge help in sharing his wisdom to capture the most amazing images. We had a mother and her cubs quietly walk by and were able to capture her feeding her cubs. This was a truly heart warming day. Small and intimate with plenty of time for bear and eagle viewing. We will definitely return. The entire staff was amazing.
