Fly by floatplane deep into Katmai National Park to witness grizzly bears catching sockeye salmon mid-leap at the world-famous Brooks Falls — one of the most iconic wildlife spectacles on the planet.
What to expect
Your floatplane lifts off from Homer's harbor and skims low over Cook Inlet before touching down inside Katmai National Park. Guided walks bring you to the famous Brooks Falls viewing platforms, where bears lunge and splash just metres away. Your naturalist reads bear behavior in real time, turning every charge and catch into a story. The return flight at golden hour over the Alaska Range is the perfect coda.
Good to know
Full-day trips run 6–8 hours — confirm your ship's all-aboard time before booking. Spaces are extremely limited (6–8 seats per aircraft); pre-book weeks in advance. Dress in waterproof layers; platform conditions are wild and unpredictable.
