Bears of Pack Creek
Where else can you take a scenic floatplane trip, kayak into a rainforest wilderness, and see Alaskan brown bears? Join us for one of the world's best bear viewing experiences on Admiralty Island, a lush rainforest wilderness with the largest density of brown bears in the world. In fact, the native Tlingit People call the island Kootznoowoo, the Fortress of the Bears. After landing near the shores of Admiralty, you'll board kayaks and paddle to the world-famous Stan Price/Pack Creek Brown Bear Sanctuary. You'll hike inland to two different areas to spend a full day watching for bears, with a chance to see family groups with playful cubs grazing the meadows or fishing the stream. Then it's back to Juneau in time for dinner! On the three-day trips, you'll spend an extra day kayaking and hiking, looking for brown bears, bald eagles, and marine wildlife while based at a comfortable base camp. We're the only company to offer overnight trips to the Pack Creek area, and our trips are timed for the absolutely best bear viewing opportunities!

Itinerary:
Day 1- We begin with an early morning orientation meeting in Juneau. We then head to the airport pond, where we board floatplanes for a scenic flight down the Inside Passage to Admiralty Island, landing next to a secluded beach. We will set up camp a few miles from the sanctuary. After lunch and a kayak lesson, we will begin exploring this fascinating wilderness. You may find time to walk the beach, view the diverse marine and bird life, or just gaze across the inlet to the stunning coastal mountains while your guides cook a fresh and delicious dinner.
Day 2- We rise early and prepare for our visit to the Stan Price Brown Bear Sanctuary at Pack Creek. Paddling toward the world of the brown bear is a superb way to experience the entire ecosystem. We will spend a full day watching for bears. We hope to see several bears, including family groups with playful cubs. Bears are best viewed at the mouth of Pack Creek, but we may also take the beautiful forest hike to the observation tower on the upper river where bears may be fishing right below us.
Day 3- After another night in our wilderness campsite, we will have a relaxing morning until our floatplane takes us on another beautiful flight over the northern end of Admiralty Island and back to Juneau. We will arrive in Juneau in early afternoon, and the trip ends with a transfer to your hotel or other destination. /span>
