Once at the KBBC Campus, your daily schedule may vary depending on bear movement & activities.
A typical day will consist of two outings, morning and afternoon. During these outings, you’ll receive an orientation and safety briefing from your guide. You’ll then board our catamaran which will take you to one of our three prime bear viewing locations. Each location has a different level of difficulty to access via a hike over uneven terrain. If you have any physical limitations, please inform us so we can choose the bear viewing location that will best meet your needs.
