Guided Hiking Tour Katmai National Park & Preserve
Walking Distance: 4-5 Miles over the 4-hour period on uneven wilderness terrain in hip waders. Alaska offers a multitude of wildlife viewing opportunities, but for many visitors the main attraction is the iconic Alaska Coastal Brown Bear. Summer populations of brown bear thrive in coastal Alaska due to abundant food sources such as sedge grass, intertidal shellfish, and salmon returning to spawn. We travel to these areas to watch the bears in their most natural wilderness environments.
For this safari-style experience, we travel to Katmai's Hallo Bay to watch the bears in their most natural wilderness environment. Offered during the month of June. Age limit: 12 yrs+
