Basic wall tent cabin accommodation (small groups of max 6 guests) located in a stunning mountain coastal bay just north of McNeil River - renowned for the largest concentration of brown bears in the world. It is a unique wildlife experience. Nowhere else in the world can you see up to 100 wild brown bears come and go throughout the day and have the possibility of photographing a group of 40 or more bears at one time! Brown bears congregate at McNeil River area during summer because the river and nearby creeks have an abundant supply of spawning salmon. Salmon collect below the falls, which they navigate by leaping over a precipice. Some bears catch salmon on the fly, and other bears wade around until they catch one. Daylight and twilight combined make for 20 or so viewing hours in July and August.
The camps are for independent guests (bring your own gear/sleeping bag) who wish to get up close and personal with brown bears fishing salmon. We have gone to extraordinary lengths to provide our guests with this experience free of any other human presence. Because of these conditions we recommend one of our guides accompany those without extensive brown bear knowledge. |
