Alaska Bears Photo Workshop

Get up close with brown bears in Alaska's Katmai National Park & Preserve

Join us for a small group Alaskan brown bear photography adventure in Katmai National Park & Preserve. We’ve timed this trip during the peak of the salmon run when bears gorge on salmon as they fatten for the winter. We’ll don our waders daily and venture out via private seaplane to various photo locations along the rivers deep inside the park, photographing lots of bears fishing, eating, and interacting. We may encounter other wildlife like otters, eagles, foxes, or moose.

We’ll also visit the famous Brooks Falls, where many bears congregate to catch salmon leaping up the falls. Because we have a private seaplane and nearby accommodations, we can stay at the falls later in the day after the day trip crowds have flown home, giving you more photo opportunities and a better experience at the falls.

We’ll stay in a comfortable remote backcountry lodge deep in the Katmai wilderness, overlooking a beautiful river scene. We’ll eat delicious gourmet meals for breakfast and dinner and pack a lunch for our daily photo excursions.
