Luxury Guided Bear Viewing at Lake Clark

Bear Viewing Available Through Late Summer Into Fall

If you are vacationing to Alaska later in the summer or into the fall, no worries- we offer a great trip to see bears this time of year!

These bear tours get better and better late into September as the foliage begins to change, making for spectacular photos.

We partner with Redoubt Mountain Lodge which is located on beautiful Crescent Lake in Lake Clark National Park.

The lodge provides guides and pontoon boats. You will spend 3 hours cruising around the lake watching bears.

You may see bears on the shorelines, playing in the water, and actively fishing the rivers, creeks, and lake. There are restrooms, shelter, and a delicious hot lunch is included with the tour before or after bear viewing!
