About Katmai Camping and Katmai Canoe trips

Katmai is a wilderness park like no other. Famous for Katmai bears, some of the worlds largest, and prolific salmon runs, Katmai is the Alaska of your dreams. We offer bear viewing wilderness trips from the the wave battered Pacific coast to the broad glacial lakes of the Alaska Peninsula. We can arrange custom trips to climb volcanoes or fish a world-class river. The rich ecology and rugged beauty of Alaska's Katmai National Park are unmatched

About the Aleutian Island Camping Trips

Stretching from the tip of the Alaska Peninsula across the International Date Line, the Aleutian Islands are a paradise Aleutian Islands Camping for birders, geologists and naturalists of every stripe. Smoking volcanoes, bubbling hot-springs, enormous bird rookeries, whales and a lush tundra landscape make the Aleutians a magical place to travel. Our Aleutian Island trips will show you the best of this remote and rarely traveled landscape.

Geography of Katmai

Katmai encompasses 3.6 million acres on the Alaska Peninsula and stretches from the Pacific Coast nearly to Bristol Bay. In addition to the famous bears, Katmai is home to several active volcanoes and the crater from the cataclysmic eruption of Novarupta which created the Valley of 10,000 Smokes. Ice fields and glaciers cover the volcanoes and have carved huge lakes in the interior of the Park.

Katmai Bears and other WildlifeKatmai Park Volcano and Glacier

With more than 2,000 Brown Bears in Katmai National Park, we see them daily if not hourly on all of our Katmai Trips. Millions of salmon spawn in the many productive rivers and Katmai bears are amongst the biggest on earth. The rivers and lakes support not only salmon but also rainbow trout, pike, and dolly varden in astounding quantity.

 

The Eastern Aleutians are similar to Katmai in terms of wildlife but west of Unimak Island there are few terrestrial animals like bears. The Aleutians teem with marine life and birds seen nowhere else in North America.
