During your port stay in Juneau, go deep into the Alaskan wilderness on this day trip to the Pack Creek Brown Bear Viewing Area, a wildlife sanctuary located on Admiralty Island. Called the ‘Fortress of the Bears’ by the indigenous Tlingit people, Pack Creek is home to the highest concentration of brown bears in the world. With one guide for every five people, enjoy personalized attention on this small-group tour.
After convenient morning port pickup, kick off your tour with a floatplane flight over Tongass National Forest and the Inside Passage. Your pilot makes a smooth landing 25 minutes later on Windfall Island. Receive a safety briefing for your kayaking journey through Windfall Harbor, and then following your guide, paddle to the mouth of Pack Creek on Admiralty Island.
Secure your kayak on shore and walk to prime viewing locations to observe grizzly and brown bears in their natural environment. Head over to creeks and streams to see them swimming or catching salmon, and climb up lookout towers to see bears romping around.
Spend a leisurely three hours watching bears, before you kayak back to the floatplane site. Your shore excursion ends with van transport back to Juneau port.
Please note: A minimum of two people per booking is required. Visitors to the Pack Creek Brown Bear Viewing Area must have a permit, which is limited in number and provided to tour operators only. As permits sell out quickly, make sure to book this tour well in advance.
