Alaska Grizzly Bear Photo Trips

If you've always wanted to get photographs of grizzly bears in the wild, here is your chance. I've scheduled 3 photo trips to Alaska for that very purpose. These are not trips to a platform-restricted viewing opportunity. We're going to the bears with experienced guides and very small groups.

Katmai Wilderness Lodge, Katmai National Park, Alaska
June 21 - 28, 2006 and June 20 - 27, 2007


Fall Bear Watch, Kodiak Island, Alaska
September 10 - 15, 2006


Katmai Wilderness Lodge
June 21 - 28, 2006
$500 deposit due by March 15, 2006

I lucked out on and was able to hold 4 spots on very short notice. But, as a result, the deadline for the $500 deposit is a very rapidly approaching March 15, 2006. Katmai Wilderness Lodge is the only private establishment located n the 3.6 million acre wilderness of Katmai National Park. On the coast at Kukak Bay, Katmai Wilderness Lodge is isolated from other operators and limits guest capacity to 12.

If you are serious about this trip, Let Me Know ASAP because this hold is pending paid deposits and if someone else gets in first we'll have to wait until next year.

We'll have excellent opportunities to photograph grizzly bears, adults and cubs on the tidal flats of Kukak Bay as well as foxes, seals, sea otters, puffins, maybe a moose, bald eagles and other birds, wildflowers and magnificient scenery.

Guest cabins have private baths and the lodge hosts a fine dining area, sitting area, and mutli-level deck where you can relax and view the scenery and wildlife. Cabins are double occupancy and each has a private bath.

You can sign up for the trip at Blue Planet Photography - Katmai Bear Watch.

The trip fee is $5000.00 and includes:
Round trip float plane transportation from Kodiak Island to Kukak Bay
Lodging at Katmai Wilderness Lodge
All meals at Katmai Wilderness Lodge
Guided bear watching
All transportation on site
Guided fishing
Wilderness Hikes

Katmai Wilderness Lodge - June 20 - 27, 2007

Munsey's Bear Camp, Kodiak Island, Alaska
September 10 - 15, 2006

Since 1956, Munsey's Bear Camp at Uyak Bay on Kodiak Island, has specialized in viewing Kodiak Brown Bears, the largest of the grizzles. For 6 days we will be based at Uyak Bay, Kodiak Island, Alaska in a comfortable lodge and cabins with private baths. With a maximum of 6 guests, this experience is truly personal and unique.

In September, the bears have followed the salmon upstream. There no falls for the bears to wait at, so they must chase down the weakening salmon, making for some very exciting action. There are no viewing platforms or restricted areas. We will be safely going to where the bears are under the guidance of Master Guide Mike Munsey rather than waiting for them to come to us. We will be observing bears as they forage, rest and play in preparation for winter hibernation. Other wildlife in the area are deer, foxers, seals, sea otters, puffins, bald eagles and more!

The trip fee is $2900.00 and an $800 deposit is due by May 15, 2006.

The trip fee includes:
Round trip float plane transportation from Kodiak Island to Uyak Bay
Lodging at Munsey's Bear Camp
All meals at Munsey's Bear Camp
Guided bear watching
All transportation on site
Hikes
Kayaking
