Located on the southern end of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, Chinitna Bay is home to a multitude of brown bears that come to the bay to feed on the protein rich sedge grasses, copious clams and fish the late summer salmon runs.

With this tour you have a good chance to view Alaska black and brown bears in their natural habitat on a guided, fly-out Alaska bear watching trip to Redoubt Bay Lodge – a small rustic hand-hewn lodge situated in a 171,000-acre critical habitat area.
Redoubt Bay Lodge is located 70 miles southwest of Anchorage near the dramatic entrance of Lake Clark National Park. The area is home to one of the most concentrated and viewable bear populations in the state of Alaska.
Depart from Lake Hood in Anchorage, the world’s busiest floatplane harbor, and fly southwest over Cook Inlet and the western edge of the Kenai Peninsula to the foothills of the Lake Clark National Park. During the 50 minute flight, your pilot will share information on scenic highlights, while flying low enough to spot Alaska wildlife. You may also fly over Cook Inlet, spotting for Beluga whales. Your pilot will pick the best route for the weather conditions and scenic possibilities.
As your Redoubt Bay Lodge bear watching trip begins, bear viewing is from a covered pontoon boat with experienced naturalist guides through the chain of Big River Lakes, host to sockeye and Coho salmon runs and popular feeding site for resident bear. A light meal is included in the tour price. No tour guarantees bear viewing, however, chances to see bears are high on the 6hr bear viewing tour.
After your bear viewing you will fly back to Anchorage, where your tour ends.
