If you're looking for a really special wildlife experience, nothing beats seeing bears in Alaska. Alaskan brown bear viewing is one of the best things you can do in Alaska apart from glacier watching and fishing. This wild area is one of the top places in the world to see brown, black, and grizzly bears in their natural home, and you might even see all three on the same trip.
You could spot salmon-catching brown bears at Brooks Falls or black bears walking through the forests of the Tongass National Forest.
The popular Alaskan brown bear tours will take you to the places in Alaska where you can experience the best places to see bears in Alaska as part of your cruise trip. Alaska is special because it's the only U.S.state where all three types of North American bears black, brown (including grizzlies), and polar bears live in the wild.
Why Alaska is great for seeing bears
You can do bear viewing in Alaska easily because it is home to over 100,000 black and brown bears living in its wild areas; this state offers an unmatched chance to see wildlife up close. Glacial rivers are full of salmon, berry bushes cover whole valleys, and the wilderness stretches for miles without roads or signs all perfect places for bears to live.
What makes Alaska really special isn’t just how many bears there are, but how easy it is to see them. Travelers on Princess Cruises get special access to remote areas, from the rainforests of the Inside Passage to the open tundra of Denali. These are the places where brown bears walk into rivers to hunt, black bears search for food in old-growth forests, and grizzlies look around open spaces under the tall mountains. Across Alaska, black bears are most common in the forests, grizzlies live in the tundra and mountains, coastal brown bears gather near streams with salmon, and polar bears live in the Arctic north.
