Moraine Creek Bear Viewing
A DAY AT MORAINE CREEK
Moraine Creek is a hidden gem for bear viewing tucked within the pristine wilderness of Katmai National Park. This remote creek boasts one of the best natural salmon runs in the region, attracting brown bears from miles around. These powerful animals gather to feast on the rich Sockeye and Coho salmon, fueling up for the long Alaskan winter. The result? An intimate and unforgettable wildlife experience in a truly wild setting. Begin your adventure with a scenic plane flight from Homer, landing near Moraine Creek in the heart of bear country. After a brief safety orientation from your experienced guide, you'll set out across the tundra to quietly observe these magnificent creatures in their natural environment, often just yards away. With fewer crowds and a more rugged backdrop than Brooks Falls, Moraine Creek offers photographers and wildlife lovers a raw, up-close encounter with Alaskan brown bears.
