Unfortunately we didn’t see any bears, but Captain Lance was great, the boat ride was fun and the scenery was beautiful! Saw lots of spawning salmon!!

This was a highlight of our trip! Alex, from Ketchikan was the best guide we had all week! He was so knowledgeable and truly loves his town. We had a beautiful boat ride where we saw whales and seals. The bear viewing area is easily accessible for older folks. There are not a lot of people here so it wasn’t over crowded. We saw a bear catching salmon! The scenery was beautiful!

This tour was the absolute highlight of our trip to Alaska! Alex was a fantastic guide. He had great communication and the boat ride was super comfortable and scenic. We saw bears pretty much immediately when we got to the platform, and seeing the mama bear with her cubs on the trail was absolutely amazing. We saw a bear catch several salmon and eat them right in front of us, just like in the movies. :) Truly incredible!! None of the other tours we took on our trip came even close to this one.
