It is time for them to embark on one f the most exciting adventures i.e. the best of bear watching in Alaska.

It is important to remember that bears are intelligent animals and follow their set ways. They will not bother you as long as you try not to humanize them. Throwing them scraps of food is a strict no-no s is venturing too close to the playful cubs.

Bear watching Alaska can be an exhilarating experience as long you are mindful of the boundaries. Well, you may decide to take a floatplane and soar above Crescent Lake and Lake Clarke National Park. The lofty mountains, beautiful glaciers, and wondrous Redoubt Volcano will make you feel good, but you would find multiple brown bears scooping up salmons along the coast too. That is the highlight of the tour that you wouldn’t want to miss at any cost. Feel free to combine it with salmon fishing if you are in Alaska any time between June and September.

You may visit Wolverine Creek by availing of the floatplane-Jon boat combo. It is advisable to follow the instructions of your guide as you stay put on the deck watching the young adult bears and small cubs loiter along the cast looking for fish.

You may book yourself for a bout of clam digging during Chinitna Bay bear viewing as well.
