About Viewing Alaska Bears

For a small business like mine, friendly and personal service is the key ingredient in ensuring your Alaska bear viewing experience exceeds your expectations. I am sure you would prefer to travel with a small group rather than just be 'a number in a pack of tourists.'

As a long time Alaskan resident I use my unique local knowledge of the area to ensure that each and every one of my guests is treated to an unforgettable holiday experience in 'The Last Frontier.'

I like to treat all my guests as new friends who are visiting for the first time. It's my pleasure to ensure you gain the most from your time with me. In fact, my guests leave saying it has been the best part of their holiday and recommend Viewing Alaska Bears to their friends.

I am always available to answer your questions about places to go, optional excursions, and generally what life is like in this part of the US.

So, I invite you to make your next holiday a truly memorable one.

Please feel free to Contact Us and ask us to arrange the best Alaska bear viewing vacation at the premier bear viewing site in the world.

After all, the world is vast and adventures such as this occur just once in a lifetime.

With best regards, Bill

4 W Air and Viewing Alaska Bears

Bill started Viewing Alaska Bears 23 years ago when he realised there was a market opportunity to offer bear viewing vacations based out of King Salmon.

He was getting request from guests who found Brooks Camp fully booked and were looking for a way to get to see bears without a long and costly float plane ride from Anchorage or Homer.

Bill realised that he could offer a very cost effective alternative using hotel accommodation in King Salmon together with scheduled air services and his own float plane air taxi service.

Key to his offering was taking care of everything so that guests just had to arrive at Anchorage International Airport. Bill would organise all the travel, accommodation, and transport arrangement leaving guests to enjoy their Alaskan Bear Viewing – and so Viewing Alaska Bears started.
