Bear Watching

A popular vacation activity is bear watching in Alaska and British Columbia.

There are many operators of bear watching tours throughout North America and northern Europe. It is also a pleasure to do a spot of bear watching from public accessible viewing platforms such as at Fish Creek in Hyder, Alaska near the border to Stewart in British Columbia.

In Katmai National Park, Alaska elevated platforms provide a safe brown bear watching experience overlooking the famous Brooks Falls. British Columbia is another prime destination for Grizzly Bear watching although there are fewer locations where you can drive to and watch from a platform.

Bear watching boat tours are available along the coast of British Columbia where you almost invariably see killer whales and other marine mammals enroute. Polar Bear Watching is a popular activity from Churchill, Manitoba in Canada.

The Spirit Bears are otherwise known as Kermode Bears and can be found on Princess Royal Island off the coast of British Columbia where there are plentiful Black Bears also.

Guided Bear Watching tours are conducted in many places in North America and Europe.
