Guiding Wildlife Photographers in Alaska since 1977
Alaska's Best Photo Safari & Bear Viewing Lodge.
Experience Katmai National Park, Lake Clark National Park & McNeil River Bear Sanctuary like a true Alaskan. Capture Images of bears at three different National Parks on our 6-day 5-night trips.
Since 1977 Jerry Jacques has been safely leading Grizzly/Brown Bear Photo Safaris. Jerry is the world's most experienced Bear guide. Don't compromise when it comes to your experience and your safety. Our clients Stay at our Private Luxury lodge that is nestled between Katmai National Park & Lake Clark National Park. Each day, we fly you to the absolute best locations to photograph bears and Alaskan wildlife. Jerry operates the safest Safaris in the industry while still getting you where you want to be for the best wildlife experience. Our planes always stay with you during the day, which gives you the ability to change locations, so you are always with the bears even when the bears move to a different location. This a huge safety measure that no other Safari Lodge offers.
We do one thing and one thing only: we provide you the world's best opportunity to photograph bears during the day and then spoil you at night with a gourmet four-course dinner and the most comfortable lodging available.
Every Year Art Wolfe, National Geographic, BBC & many other professional photographers use our guide service.
4 US congressmen, General Chuck Yeager, and even two Presidents of the United States have all visited our lodge,
All our trips are fully guided with nine aircraft always standing by just to fly our guests to over 127 different locations. Our clients have exclusive use of our aircraft which include four float planes (sea planes), three bush planes on tundra tires, our PC-12 to bring clients from Anchorage to our lodge, and our 10 jet boats. The planes and boats are not out doing other things during the day. They are used exclusively for our guests. You never wait for an airtaxi plane stationed somewhere else to show up! Our planes are always with you or at the lodge waiting for you. In all, we cover a 30,000 square-mile area, including Katmai and Lake Clark National Parks, & the Bristol Bay Watershed. Having the plane stay with you all day is a huge advantage allowing us to always be where the best bear activity is, and more importantly, if bad weather is blowing in we simply take off for the lodge or a different location.
Living in the area during the off season our aircraft have conducted over 170 aerial wildlife surveys. When abnormal conditions occurr, and other lodges or boats are struggling just trying to find bears our clients are always seeing plenty of grizzlies up close. There is no substitute for 5 decades experience in the area along with our unique access of sea planes, boats and tundra tired equipped bush planes.
