Ketchikan Bear Viewing at Traitors Cove 3 hr

Watch Alaska’s wild salmon run draw black bears to the water at Traitors Cove, where rushing currents and hungry wildlife make for a memorable Ketchikan Bear Viewing experience. From a prime viewing platform, look for bears plunging into the stream to catch salmon as they make their way upstream to spawn. Bald eagles may also appear to feed on scraps left behind.

The three-hour outing includes a round-trip floatplane flight over the Tongass National Forest, with personalized narration from your pilot rather than a recorded track. At the viewing area, an experienced Alaska bear guide accompanies you on an approximately ¼-mile round-trip nature walk. The source describes a high likelihood of seeing black bears, eagles, and salmon, though wildlife sightings are not guaranteed. Up to 45 minutes of the tour is devoted to flightseeing.

Take in the forest from above, then experience the salmon run from a close vantage point on the ground. Book your Ketchikan Bear Viewing adventure for a vivid look at the wildlife and landscapes of Alaska.
