Also check with tour desks at motels/hotels or ask your bed-and-breakfast or campground host about wildlife viewing tour operators available locally.Ī good resource for wildlife viewing information is the Alaska Dept. Wildlife and bird viewing areas of particular interest are noted in the text.īooking agents packaging custom Alaska vacations can include wildlife touring on your trip. The MILEPOST® highway logs point out spots along the highways where travelers may see Dall sheep, moose, caribou, bear and other mammals. We all left our flight feeling speechless and eternally grateful for the experience.The opportunity to see wildlife is a major attraction for many visitors to the North Country. I was literally ready to book another flight the following day. We took off again and flew over volcanos, glaciers and a lava hole. We landed on a beautiful beach and tracked huge bear paws on the beach and even little cub ones. The waters in the Cook Inlet are so blue, we flew over beaches and coastal waters, we spotted a number of grizzly bears down below, moose and we even spotted a wolf! What Tim said would probably be be only one spotted all summer. Putting safety aside, the flight was the most amazing experience of our trip and quite possibly of our lives. The Airvan also is equipped with some extra safety sensor equipment that was quite impressive. You could easily tell how experienced he is but also how much he loves what he does. Of course anyone would be nervous flying up in a small plane in Alaska but within 15 minutes of being up, Tim made us feel safe and comfortable. When we surprised my boyfriend with the bear viewing flight he was shocked. Janet in the office was extremely kind and informative, she answered my MANY questions about the flight and safety.

Back in January I booked a surprise flight for my boyfriend’s 40th birthday with Tim and Natron Air.
