Nearby to Ketchikan lies the pristine wilderness landscapes of Tongass National Forest. These pristine lush rainforests are fed by numerous creeks and streams, providing a tasty menu of fish for Alaska’s vast population of black bears. You’ll take a private 20-minute flight by seaplane into the Tongass after which you’ll join your pilot and guide on a scenic hike along a Forest Service trail to go bear viewing. After ascending to a private bear viewing platform, you can photograph and watch these amazing creatures hunt for their next meal as they search the creek for spawning salmon.
