I really wasn't sure what to expect, but for the both of us the flight and the bear viewing was the highlight of our 3 week trip to Alaska. Our discussions of what was best about our trip always come back to the idyllic trip to see the bears of Hallo Bay. Seeing the bears in their environment not impacted... More

What a thrill, our Katmai Bear Viewing trip with Homer Air! Our son Wouter (11y) was “co-pilot” on the flight to Katmai and my husband on the way back. The flight in itself was already well worth the money. We had full confidence in our very capable pilot Tim. When departing in Homer it was cloudy but at Hallo Bay... More

We had the most amazing trip to Katmai with our pilot Zack. He flew us around Volcanoes and glaciers before landing expertly on the beach (agree with other comments re scheduled airlines landings) Thanks to Zack's experience we landed a short walk from the bears and had the pleasure of seeing Mom catching salmon and feeding her young cubs. We... More

We would have loved to go to Katmai.... However, as we arrived at our 0730 check-in, we were told that they overbooked us. No phone call, no "here's what we can do for you," no voucher, NOTHING. We barely got an "I'm sorry." Well, we are too. But don't worry, we'll spread the news...

These people are experts, but make no mistake you are out hiking with bears. Big carnivorous bears. homer air is very safety oriented. You fly in a small plane and land on a beach. You follow bear tracks to the river and watch for the bears. They can and do get very close. Very Close. So pay attention to what... More

Going to Katmai was unbelievable. We still think about it. In fact we will return next year with our sons. The bears and other wildlife including the wolves were simply amazing.

Despire the threat of iffy weather (a daily event in Alaska this summer) and the very recent crash of Senator Steven's aircraft two days before, Zack and Jimmy were encouraging, patient and nondefensive as we quizzed them before signing our waivers. Jimmy was our pilot and though he looks like he graduated from high school "a minute ago" he had... More

A disappointing start to the day when low cloud forced a delay for our scheduled 7.30am departure. However, perserverance paid off and we eventually took off at around 1.00pm. we were in for a most exciting afternoon. The weather cleared and our trip to Katmai past the volcano and the glacial terain was fantastic. This was nothing however compared to... More
