Itinerary

• Day 1 – Kodiak to Kodiak Brown Bear Center (KBBC)
  On arrival in Kodiak you will be met for transfer to a floatplane base where you’ll embark on a 45 minute Alaska bush plane flight to the KBBC located on Camp Island on Karluk Lake. Karluk Lake has over 30 miles of shoreline with countless tributaries creating one of the richest & highest salmon concentrations on Kodiak. This adventure offers visitors unparalleled access & opportunities to observe & study these legendary bears in their natural habitat & surroundings from viewing areas strategically located in the field as well as from the 30’ aluminum catamaran. After a safety orientation & lunch you will be immersed into a guided bear viewing adventure. The evening dinner is served in the dining cabin. After dinner you’ll settle into your comfortable & well-appointed cabin for your first overnight stay at the Kodiak Brown Bear Center.
• Day 2 – Kodiak Brown Bear Center
  Camp Island affords a lodging buffer from the abundant bear activity around the perimeter of the Lake and provides a curious and entertaining population of local wildlife such as deer, fox and river otter. After breakfast you’ll embark for another day of guided bear viewing to one of three prime viewing areas and enjoy a scenic and wildlife tour of the 36 square mile Karluk Lake aboard their heated catamaran vessel. All guest cabins are directly at the water’s edge and each cabin has a private outdoor deck where bears and other wildlife can often be seen as well. Lunch and dinner included with another night in your deluxe and well-appointed cabin at the Kodiak Brown Bear Center.
• Day 3 – Kodiak Brown Bear Center
  One to five additional days, depending on your desired length of stay.  There is a good chance to see bears all summer as the area is great habitat for sows and cubs. However, starting August 1st the bear concentrations are beginning their peak due to the prolific salmon runs entering Karluk Lake through the Karluk River and this significantly increases the chance to see the bigger male bears called boars.
• Day 4 (or last day) – Kodiak Brown Bear Center to Kodiak
  In the morning after breakfast, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in a guided activity (bear viewing, kayaking or fishing). After lunch, you’ll check out and prepare for the return flight to Kodiak at approximately 1:00pm (13:00H).
