Watching the bears fishing at Brooks Falls was an unforgettable experience. I would definitely recommend it. While the 90 minute plane ride was very scenic, it was very crammed and uncomfortable inside the aircraft, and my wife was the one unlucky passenger who didn't get a window seat.

All I can say is WOW! We arrived at the office early in the morning to meet our pilot. Boarded the float plane and took off for Katmai! The scenery was amazing we got to see volcanos and beautiful scenery along the way. Bears were on the beach where we landed and The falls did not disappoint! we would highly recommend Adventure Airways for your trip!

The staff were great and kept us safe. We rescheduled due to bad weather. The flight over and back was smooth but three people in the middle bench seat on a Beaver is really cramped. My only complaint is timing. Our 2:30 flight left the dock on time and beached about 4:15. We were instructed to be back at the plane by 7:00 for a 7:15 departure. That sounds reasonable but… Then we had to go to the visitor center for “bear school” and didn’t get out of there until 5:00. We were told there was a two hour wait for the main platform earlier in the day but now it should be less than an hour and they give you a buzzer so you know when it is your turn. Now I’m getting nervous. Then you walk a mile to get to the platforms. HOORAY…no wait. So we had about an hour in the platform jostling for a good spot and then it was time to return. It was all very rushed. There are other companies that stay five hours. This was $1000 for one hour viewing bears with no wait time getting on the ma8n platform.
