Alaska Bear Viewing Trips
1-Day Bear Viewing  •  7-Day Bear Viewing  •  7-Day Bear Viewing and Giant Icebergs

Alaska bear viewing amd seeing a Alaska brown bear up-close in Alaska's wilderness is considered the ultimate Alaska wildlife viewing and photography experience. Alaskan Bears may be encountered anywhere in Alaska, even in urban areas. Numerous close bear encounters occur every year in Alaskan cities, but nothing compares to visiting one of Alaska's bear viewing wilderness hot-spots where you can often see not just one bear but many within view.

Brown bears or grizzlies are normally solitary animals but when the salmon return to Alaska rivers to spawn, bears will concentrate in a few hot-spots to take advantage of the abundant food source. It is only during these short periods that bears tolerate being close with their own kind. Even then fights often occur as they jostle for the best fishing position.

Wildlife can be unpredictable but Backcountry Safaris Bear Viewing tours can take you to locations where we can almost guarantee that you will encounter not just one bear, but the odds are good that you will see many.
