About Your Bear Viewing Trip to Chinitna Bay

Your adventure begins in Anchor Point, just 15 miles north of Homer, Alaska. From there, we travel by boat across the stunning Cook Inlet to Lake Clark National Park, home to one of the largest brown bear populations in the world. (Anchor Point is much closer to the park, and a much shorter boat ride than from Homer.)

The scenic 1 to 1.5-hour boat ride each way offers breathtaking views of glaciers, volcanoes, waterfalls, and wildlife including whales, seals, puffins, and bald eagles. Once we land on a remote beach, we hike to incredible bear viewing areas—no platforms, no crowds, no time limits—just you and Alaska’s wild grizzlies, often 10–25 in a single day.

  • Halibut or salmon fishing can be booked on a separate day. For salmon fishing or a bear viewing + fishing combo, check out our fly-out tours of Kenai to Redoubt Bay & Big River lakes.
  • Our small group size provides a much more personalized, pleasant & customized experience.
