Planning to join one of our Alaska Bear Tour at Redoubt Bay Lodge? Our team is dedicated to making sure your adventure is both safe and comfortable. With a little preparation, you will be ready to fully enjoy this extraordinary wildlife encounter and make the most of your Alaska Bear Tour experience.
What to Pack:
Alaska’s weather can change quickly, so dressing in layers is key. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add a warm fleece or sweater, and top it off with a waterproof jacket and pants. Waterproof boots are essential for stepping in and out of the boat. Don’t forget sunglasses, a hat, and insect repellent for comfort on your Alaska Bear Tour adventure. A small backpack is perfect for carrying water, snacks, and your camera.
Booking and Preparation:
Our half-day guided Alaska Bear Tour depart from Anchorage or North Kenai and include a scenic floatplane flight, a delicious lunch, and expert guidance from trained naturalists. To secure your preferred date, book early, especially during the busy summer months. Review your confirmation for gear recommendations and be mindful of luggage restrictions for the floatplane.
Safety and Etiquette:
Your safety is our top priority on all Alaska Bear Tours. We observe bears from a motorized boat at a respectful distance, allowing them to fish and roam freely at Wolverine Creek. Always follow your guide’s instructions, move calmly, and never attempt to approach or feed the bears. We are committed to ethical wildlife viewing and protecting the bears’ natural behaviors.
Photography Tips:
Bring a camera with a zoom lens and extra batteries. At Redoubt Bay, you will often see bears up close, so binoculars are rarely needed. Be patient and let your photos capture the wonder of observing Alaska’s brown and black bears in their natural habitat.
With our expert team and these tips, your Alaska Bear Tour experience will be safe, comfortable, and truly unforgettable. Moreover, whether you are a seasoned wildlife enthusiast or a first-time visitor, witnessing Alaska’s bears in the wild is an adventure you will cherish for years to come. So, let us help you create memories that inspire your love for Alaska’s wilderness.
