What makes Alaskan Bear Encounter by Land & Sea a unique experience ?

You will enjoy a fully narrated coach tour from downtown Ketchikan (or Ward Cove dependent upon your ship) to Clover Pass Lodge, the oldest operating fishing lodge in the state of Alaska.

Upon arrival you will board our comfortable boat, fully enclosed and meet your Captain and crew. You’ll be whisked away into the wilderness for a one hour exploration of the wild and wonderful Tongass National Forest, all from the comfort of your boat.

Our destination is Neets Bay Bear Observatory. We will arrive at the mouth of a salmon spawning stream and then enjoy a walk through the incredible forest, fully guided.

You’ll then arrive at the observatory where we will stay on the lookout for bears feeding in the stream. While we do see bears 99% of the time, WILDLIFE IS NEVER Guaranteed.

You’ll spend 30 minutes quietly observing these magnificent creatures before we make our way back to the boat.
