Day 2: Katmai: At 5 a.m. you will meet your guide and your fellow travelers in the lobby of your hotel. We will have a pre-trip meeting before heading out. This morning we depart aboard a scheduled flight from Anchorage airport. On arrival in King Salmon you will be transferred directly to a seaplane for a 30 minute flight to Brooks Camp. Brooks Falls in Katmai is world renowned for its large population of brown bears due to salmon migration to Brooks River.  Bears begin to arrive in Brooks Camp in June. After a short safety briefing on bears by a park ranger, you are free to enjoy the nature preserve. Viewing platforms are connected by walking trails and are strategically placed for commanding views of brown bear activity. Rangers are based at platforms and on trails to provide information, safety and to rotate viewing groups during busy periods. Return to Anchorage in the early evening. Overnight in Anchorage.

Day 3: Anchorage to Whittier & Prince William Sound Cruise : At 9 a.m. you will meet your guide in the lobby of your hotel. We will board our comfortable van and travel south along the edge of the Turnagain Arm on the Seward Parkway. This road is considered to be America’s most beautiful and scenic road, crossing mountain passes and majestic valleys. Along the way we will try to spot moose, caribou, eagles and other wildlife. On our way towards Portage Glacier, we will make a couple of stops for photo opportunities at Beluga Point and Bird Point. We will stop at Portage Glacier and visit the Begich, Boggs Visitor Center at the head of Portage Valley located fifty miles south of Anchorage. We will see as living glaciers continue to carve the landscape and shape the life on the Chugach National Forest. Built on the remnants of a terminal moraine left by Portage Glacier, the Visitor Center provides programs on the historical and natural wonders of the valley. The award-winning film, "Voices from the Ice" is shown hourly and provides a spectacular view of many glaciers and wildlife. The visitor center currently houses exhibits demonstrating "glaciers on the move" with insight into the retreat of Portage glacier. Although Portage Glacier is no longer visible from the Visitor Center, due to its retreat, the face of the glacier is still partially in Portage Lake. After Portage, enjoy the unique experience of a trip to Whittier, Alaska driving the longest combined vehicle-railroad tunnel in North America!

Day 5: Half-Day Fishing: Today your fishing charter departs the Seward dock at around 6:30 and cruises through the pristine beauty of the Kenai Fjords National Park en route to world class salmon or halibut and bottom fishing grounds. The trip concludes about 12 noon. Our friendly captains will provide you with rod, reel, and tackle, along with their local techniques that will almost guarantee a hook-up! Sit back and enjoy the day, while the Captain is taking you to where the fish are, you will be cruising along some of the most beautiful scenes that the coast line of Alaska has to offer. We guarantee that the day you spend fishing for Halibut or Salmon in Alaska is something you will remember for the rest of your life! Other fish that are frequently caught during these trips include Ling Cod, Yellow eye Rockfish and Black Bass. They are great eating fish and favored among many of the local fishermen.
