Tongass National Forest

Between July20th and September 30th you can visit the bear viewing observatory at Traitors Cove.

In addition to bears feeding, you will also see bald eagles picking over the scraps left by the bears and of course, the real stars of the show, the salmon as they battle their way upstream to spawn. Your journey will be accompanied by the Island Wings bear guide who will provide information about the flora and fauna along the way. Combine a short hike, beautiful scenery and a magnificent wildlife experience in one trip. This is a four hour tour that includes a floatplane flight, a one mile drive by van on a US Forest Service road and a short hike along a boardwalk trail to the viewing platform. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring plenty of camera batteries! The US Forest Service restricts access to Margarete Observatory by permit. As a result, only small numbers of people have the opportunity to visit this beautiful site, so book early!

Forêt nationale de Tongass

Entre le 20 juillet et le 30 septembre, vous pouvez visiter l'observatoire d'observation des ours à Traitors Cove. Envolez-vous en hydravion le long des magnifiques voies navigables de la luxuriante forêt nationale de Tongass à travers l'île de Revillagegedo jusqu'à un sentier entretenu par le US Forest Service et la plate-forme d'observation des ours de Margarete Creek. On peut voir des ours plonger dans l'eau tumultueuse pour récupérer leur repas de saumon se tortillant. C'est l'occasion idéale de photographier le vrai pêcheur d'Alaska en action ! En plus des ours qui se nourrissent, vous verrez également des pygargues à tête blanche cueillir les restes laissés par les ours et bien sûr, les vraies vedettes du spectacle, les saumons qui se battent en amont pour frayer. Votre voyage sera accompagné par le guide des ours Island Wings qui vous fournira des informations sur la faune et la flore tout au long du parcours. Combinez une courte randonnée, de beaux paysages et une magnifique expérience de la faune en un seul voyage. Il s'agit d'une visite de quatre heures qui comprend un vol en hydravion, un trajet d'un mile en camionnette sur une route du US Forest Service et une courte randonnée le long d'un sentier de promenade jusqu'à la plate-forme d'observation. Assurez-vous de porter des chaussures de marche confortables et apportez beaucoup de piles pour appareil photo ! Le US Forest Service restreint l'accès à l'observatoire de Margarete par permis. En conséquence, seul un petit nombre de personnes ont la possibilité de visiter ce magnifique site, alors réservez tôt ! La visite d'observation des ours de quatre heures de Traitors Cove comprend : un vol de trente minutes dans chaque sens et trois heures à Traitors Cove. Toutes les visites incluent le transport terrestre gratuit vers et depuis notre quai, ce qui ajoute quinze minutes au début et à la fin de votre visite. Pour cette visite de quatre heures, vous devrez prévoir un temps total de quatre heures et demie. Saison : du 20 juillet au 30 septembre.

From start to finish - Professional, knowledgeable, and communicative. We were concerned our trip would be cancelled due to fog - but Michelle and team were proactive and moved our planes to a point outside of the fog zone. We are so thankful they did because it was a great day!! Jensen was a great guide and we learned a lot about bears and their habitat. We were lucky to see a few different bears - and one that caught a salmon in his mouth. We also saw some bald eagles. One note if you are on the older side....the walk is not totally flat, somewhat long, and there are some inclines along the way. It was a bit of an effort for my senior mom but she did great, and the group slowed for her as needed which was truly appreciated. A great day with a great company. Highly recommend!

Dear Michele A, Thank you for the excellent review! Crazy thing about the weather, turns out the worst fog we deal with is often due to hot sunny weather. It forms over all the waterways at night after a hot, sunny day due to the temperature difference between the warm land and the cool ocean inlets. Sometimes we can get ahead of the fog on the west side of town in order to get out of the fog in the harbor. Glad it worked out for your group! Happy to hear your mother was able to make the trip with you and your family. The gravel trail is an easy 5 minute walk for most people, but as always when we get older we all slow down! Hope all your excursions in Alaska were equally great!! All the best to you and your mom, Michelle, Adam and Jensen

Thank you Michelle and Jensen for a fantastic experience. We appreciate your commitment to safety and quality. We learned so much on this tour about Ketchikan and the wildlife in this part of the state. We had an amazing experience seeing a mama bear with her cubs at the river!

Dear Ronit M, Thank you for the lovely review! I will pass along your kind words to Jensen also! He is a very knowledgeable Southeast Alaskan guide with a quirky sense of humor! He keeps us laughing! I am happy to hear you enjoyed your trip to the Traitors Cove bear viewing facility. Not all groups are lucky enough to see the mama bears and cubs! Wishing you many more amazing travel experiences! All my best, Michelle

My whole family enjoyed this activity (from age 6 to 43). Michelle is a truly inspirational person, great pilot and her personnel is amazing. They make you feel special and unique. We stayed in the heat viewing area for close to two hours and saw at least 7 different bears many of them catching salmon over the river. We felt secure at all times and had great guidance as to how to behave near the bears. We felt very respectful for the parks and for nature. The float boat experience was also amazing. Very well worth every dollar!!! We love you Michelle!!!
