Coastal Katmai, Alaska 2026
Frontier of the Brown Bear - Late July 2026
July 30th - August 9th, 2026 - 8 Spots Available
Join Us as we explore the Coasts of Katmai National Park in search of the Brown Bears that call this area home. We will be visiting multiple areas of the Katmai Coast, where we will hike inland and get an unique and intimate experience photographing and viewing the Alaskan Coastal Brown Bear. This is not a trip to Brooks falls or anything like it. This trip will focus on bears fishing as the salmon runs will have begun, as well as seeing moms and cubs - the cubs will be bigger than the June trip as they will have put on about 40 lbs, but don't worry they will still be cute.
Our trips are for everyone, whether you are a beginner photographer, a seasoned professional photographer or just a nature and bear lover, I hope you'll join me in June or late July 2026 for a once in a lifetime experience.
