Neets Bay Bear Watch & Flight

[KristyMisty14]

Looking for reviews on this excursion with Princess, the Neets Bay Bear Watch with the Flight option getting there.

Any reviews comments are much appreciated. Thanks!!!

We took this excursion in 2007. My wife and I enjoyed it and recommend it. The flights were fun and seeing the bears up close was amazing. There was also a fish hatchery.

Great tour, with multiple bears and hatchery. Nice flight over the island to the bay to land. BUT, first time we planned it the weather wouldn't let us fly. Made it on the second trip. By the way Promech Air also books directly, usually cheaper.

Promech Air no longer exists. They got folded into Taquan Air.

 

I did this tour in 2014 on day 2 of bear season, and saw no bears. :(

Being that you want to see bear, this web site might add to your enjoyment. Right now they are showing web cam bear highlights because the bears have not yet come down from the mountains. When they first come down the are skinny, but as the season goes on the brown bears get huge! It is also fun to watch the cubs grow.

The only thing to remember when the cams are live is that these bears are in the wild. And you can see anything from playfulness, fighting, mating and even death of a bear.

The best time is when the salmon are swimming up stream and the bear are feeding.

The bears show be out at least at the park, I believe by the mid to end of June.

We did the tour in mid-August. There were five large bears who were enjoying fresh Salmon.

This live cam in the summer is FANTASTIC! I can/do spend hours watching!

Remember: 4 hr. time difference if you're on eastern time.

Geocruiser; thanks for the live link. Very nice

[geocruiser]

It is a great web site. I love when the rangers have a live chat. One of the nicest things I saw in bear behavior was a couple of year ago (maybe 2 years ago) was the female bear named Holly had one cub. And then she adopted a year old cub. She took care of that cub like it was her own, even nursing the adopted cub.

Question; what is your signature picture; the island with palm tree? It looks familiar

It is just a generic picture taken from a gif web site. If you click on it, it will take you to the site. I was going to tell you it was taken on Gilligan's Island! I love tropical islands, so I just had to have one on my posts.

The bears are coming back. More and more each day for the salmon. Remember this is a live cam and you could see anything that happens in nature.

That webcam is great! I clicked through and was able to see a bear catch a salmon! Thank you very much. :)

I did this tour in mid-September a few years ago. It was one of the best tours ever. There were a dozen bears catching and eating salmon. One 400 pound bear came out of the river and stole a salmon out of the hatchery tank. Our group also saw a mother and two cubs. It was an amazing experience.

Go to that webcam now. A whole family of bears and pretty close up. Unbelievable since it is live. I am so hooked. Saved the site and keep watching it.

I am hooked too! I love when the bears are fishing at the falls, and watching the salmon trying to jump up the falls, only to be caught by a bear!

There's a close up right now of the three baby bears. They are so damn cute I can hardly stand it! Thanks for posting this site. It's going on my bookmarks for when I need a bear fix cuteness overload. ;p

Thanks.

 

Remember the Rangers also give live talks each week. Taken from their web site. I love their live chats from Brooks Camp. They really know their bears.
