This trip is totally worth the price. Spending 4 or so hours watching brown bears catching and eating bright red salmon, 20-60 feet away. Came home with 500+ photso plus great video, and of course the memories. more

Chris and Ken provide an amazing experience. They are very professional and knowledgeable. My parents (both age 78), wife and two kids (15 and 12) agree it was the highlight of our trip. Viewing bears in their natural habitat is an opportunity you must take at least once. more

Just got back from a 15 day trip in an RV around Alaska and though every moment spent there was great this had to be the highlight of the trip. Probably the highlight of any trip that I have ever been on and I travel a lot. To be that close to Bears (and I mean heart stopping close) on... more

There are actually two listings for this same service. This listing and Emerald Air Service Bear Viewing. Be sure to check them both. Chris and Ken are amazing! That doesn't even begin to describe what a great experience this is. You start off on a float plane. Ken flies you about an hour to the island with the bears. After... more

Ken and Chris day are amazing as is the service they provide. The plane is immaculate and Ken is a very skilled and experienced pilot. Their knowledge of the bears and ecosystem will immediately impress you. I've travelled with them twice now and I'm going back 2 more times this summer! Wouldn't do a day trip with anyone else. Excellent... more

I recently returned from a trip to Alaska with my 11 year old son. We spent almost three weeks traveling through Alaska and the highlight was far and away our trip with Ken and Chris of Emerald Air. We were very worried that the weather would result in having to cancel the flight, but it ended up being fine. Ken... more

My fiancee and I went brown bear viewing with Ken and Chris in early August (actually August 1). The flight into Katmai was great - about 45 minutes from lake to lake with incredible views of the landscape. We got out at the tundra and hiked to the river - which was FILLED with red salmon! The brown bears were... more

We went on the bear trip with Chris and Ken just last week and had a wonderful day. This trip is well worth the money. The flight to Katmai Island is breathtaking in itself. My son Chris was the co-pilot and just loved it. Ken takes great pride in his plane, and it shows. He is an excellent pilot. We... more

My significant other (Bill) and I flew to the Katmai Peninsula with Ken and Chris Day on June 30, 2008. I had read so many reports on Tripadvisor singing the praises of these two people that for us, there was no debate about what company with whom to travel. I nearly decided against this trip because it was a large... more
