Exclusive 1-hour flight with Island Air Service -  Rated ‘one of the best for its value, simplicity and educational viewing of Mother Nature’s life cycle’ this flight begins July 4th weekend through August.  Fly over Afognak Island to view the village of Afognak, washed out in the 1964 tidal wave, Danger Bay a logging camp, the pilot lands the floatplane Kitoi Bay to view the brown bears. Teaming with pink salmon that arrive to spawn (starting in mid-July), this bay is literally ‘jumping’ with pinks. A hatchery nearby is laying out net pens and commercial fishermen yield the summer’s harvest. Wherever there are salmon, there are brown bears and they can be easily viewed from the floating dock near the cove. Return to Trident Bay by way of Monk’s Lagoon and a former monastery for Father Herman (1757-1836).

An Island Air Exclusive! – combine Katmai National Park and a glacier landing to make this a spectacular once-in-a lifetime experience.

Take a 75-minute flight across Shelikof Strait to the mainland of Alaska.  Watch for whales migrating through the Strait on your way to Katmai National Park where the pilot will find a cluster of bears (from the air) then touch down in one of the many bays.  Wade ashore and have over 1˝ hours on the ground to get up close and personal with the bears as they dig for clams, enjoy freshly grown vegetation and enrich their diet with salmon coming in to spawn.  Then hop back into the floatplane and fly over the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes volcano, Hook Glacier, Mt. Katmai & Crater Lake, Knife Glacier and Hallo Glacier. The pilot will land the floatplane along side a glacier for a photo opportunity. Lunch is included. Any diet limitations? Please let us know in advance.
