Embark on a guided wildlife adventure that takes you to a remote site in the Tongass National Forest, where you'll watch black bears in their natural habitat feeding on salmon runs. Your excursion begins as you board your motorcoach for a short drive to the floatplane terminal. Upon arriving, you'll board an Alaska floatplane with a guaranteed window seat for your 50 minutes (roundtrip) in the air. You'll depart for Traitors Cove in Tongass National Forest, where upon landing your guide/naturalist takes you on a quarter-mile walk along a trail to a viewing platform overlooking a salmon-rich stream. You'll spend almost an hour watching black bears fishing for and feeding on salmon heading upstream to spawn, and eagles perch in surrounding trees waiting for scraps (wildlife sightings are not guaranteed). Access to this area is limited as it's controlled by the U.S. Forest Service to minimize impact on the wildlife population and to protect this fragile environment.

特記事項:

Space on this excursion is extremely limited due to permitting. If this tour is sold out, guests might consider booking KTN-885: Animal Planet Exclusive: Bear Country & Wildlife Expedition (bear watching without the flight component.)

Minimum age is 8. Wear comfortable hiking footwear and dress warmly. Bear sightings not guaranteed. Flash photography is not permitted at the viewing platform. Children under the age of 2 may travel as a lap child at no cost and will be included in the weight of the parent. Due to weight and balance limitations, as well as passenger safety and comfort, the airline has advised that guests weighing 250 lbs. or more (fully clothed) will be assessed a weight surcharge of $168. In any case where the necessity of the surcharge is verified, it will be paid directly to the tour operator just prior to the flight departure.

Oxygen for personal use is allowed but must be in the form of an FAA approved portable oxygen concentrator that can be secured to the user's body. Tour operates late July - mid September.
