No roads provide access to this isolated wilderness area.

Pack Creek bears are unique because the brown bears of Pack Creek are habituated: that means these Alaskan bears are accustomed to the presence of humans. It does not mean they are "tame" bears. The bears are definitely  wild and continue to follow their regualr bear routines and practice wild bears' customary habits. Bears along the estuary come and go as they please, as these bears have done for untold generations. They are only peripherally aware of humans and we intend to keep it that way. We love to share the intimate experience of viewing the bears of Pack Creek but we believe in responsible eco-tourism and minimizing the impact our presence has on the bears. We tread lightly and will show you how to appreciate the wilderness with depreciating it.

At Pack Creek most of the bears you will see are brown bears, primarily females (called sows) with young (cubs or subadults). Pack Creek provides a relatively safe area for bear mothers to feed and forage with their young, with minimal threat from humans. Bears usually give birth to single cubs or pairs; occasionally a triplet birth occurs. Bear cubs will remain with their mother for 3-4 years while they learn about survival. They must learn to avoid conflict with other bears, especially the older and larger males (boars). Usually the first bears to come out of the den in the spring are boars. Brown and Black bear boars tend to be loners, living very solitary lives. The exception to this is during mating season, between May and mid June. During those months it is more likely to observe boars in the Pack Creek area than at othe times..

The prime bear viewing season is from June to early September with July and August being the busiest months. Visits are by permit only.  Our permit days are limited so you need to book early to insure that you will havae access to Pack Creek Bear Viewing with Alaska Fly 'n' Fish Charters.
