Join us for a small group Alaskan brown bear photography adventure in Katmai National Park. We have chartered a comfortable private yacht that will take us to the remote coastal areas of Katmai, where brown bears will be gorging on salmon as they fatten up for the winter. We’ll venture to shore daily and watch bears fish, clam, and interact up and down the rivers and streams. Often, the bears will be remarkably close, and our guide is there to ensure safety. Our small group, with only five passengers, maximizes your photography opportunities.

In addition to brown bears, wildlife is abundant in this area. We may encounter eagles, foxes, wolves, otters, and many seabirds. We may also spot puffins or whales on our journey from Kodiak.
