A genuine encounter with the Alaskan wilderness often starts with a bush plane. And this adventure begins with a private flight across Cook Inlet, passing active volcanoes and massive glaciers before landing on a pristine beach. The stretch of sand is empty, except for the brown bears that live here - and we often see them ambling along the shore before we even land. Nearby, the sustainable bush camp provides a base for your exploration in the very midst of the bears. On the site of an old homestead, the camp front the bay in an untouched setting that looks just as it did when the first pioneers ventures into these remote wild. It's a peerless location: the camp occupies an enclave of private land surrounded by Lake Clark National Park, one of the world's most renowned bear-viewing destinations. Against the backdrop of the ice-clad Aleutian Range, this Bear Camp offers rustic luxury and total solitude - with enough beat thrills for a lifetime and then some!

Your bear adventure comes to a close today as you transfer back to the airport in time for homeward flights.
By late July or early August, the region’s salmon runs help provide the fat that enables the bears to survive a long winter. All season long, nature serves a steady feast to these omnivores. And since the bears are sated by this abundance, they see us humans merely as part of the scenery, allowing us to walk safely in the midst on guided outings, at times observing them from just feet away. Three viewing platforms, one elevated for a territorial view, enable us to see bears nearby and at a distance. And we often watch them right from camp. After an exhilarating day, gather this evening in the dining tent for dinner. Fresh local fare is on the menu, including Alaskan salmon and other offerings from the region’s seasonal abundance.
Alaska Bear Camp on Cook Inlet is a sustainable base for exploring Alaska's most pristine brown bear habitat, providing wilderness accommodations that are low on impact yet high on comfort. Built on a historic homestead on the ancestral land of the Dena'ina people, the remote parcel on roadless land was grandfathered in to remain private when Lake Clark National Park was established in 1980. Surrounded entirely by the park today, Bear Camp offers a premier location for immersive encounters with brown bears. The deluxe backcountry camp is designed for an unobtrusive presence among the bears, with tent cabins erected on a raised deck in front of the forest, facing the Chinitna Bay shoreline.
