    The Tour is approximately 6 hours with about 3 hours on the ground as the pilot waits for you to complete your trip!

The trip begins with a float plane flight to Brooks Camp in Katmai National Park. Once we land on the lake you will go to the visitor center for a Bear Etiquette film and briefing given by the Rangers at Brooks Camp, next you hike to the falls and view bears from the safety of platforms built by the National Park Service.
