Katmai National Park for best bear watching in Alaska

Bears come to mind when most people think of Katmai. One of the world's best places to see brown bears in an Alaska bear viewing trip is by visiting Katmai. 

The park is thought to be home to approximately 2,200 brown bears, and the Alaska Peninsula is been home to more bears than humans. As many bear populations around the world decline, Katmai provides some of the few remaining unaltered habitats for these amazing creatures.  At Katmai, scientists can study bears in their natural habitat, visitors can enjoy unparalleled viewing opportunities, and the bears can continue their life cycle largely undisturbed.

With organized Alaskan brown bear tours, you can observe bear activities from lose and you have the choice to take tours either on a boat, plane, or walking tours.  Nurturing this relationship between people and bears is the key to Katmai's success as a bear-viewing destination.  Rangers, scientists, and the public work together to maintain this fragile balance.  Everyone who goes to Katmai should have respect for bears and know how to stay safe in bear country. Bears need space to sleep, eat, rest, travel, and play, and the desire to take the perfect picture or fish in the best spot with a fly rod can be strong. Each of us contributes to the survival of bears in their natural habitat by recognizing their needs and providing them with space.
