A WWF-endorsed trip in partnership with Natural Habitat Adventures

Witness one of nature’s most captivating spectacles as Alaska’s brown bears feast on salmon at Brooks Falls, offering unparalleled photography opportunities in a breathtaking wilderness setting.

Venture into the heart of Alaska’s untamed wilderness on this immersive photography expedition, where you’ll capture stunning images of the mighty brown bears of Katmai National Park. As the salmon runs dwindle, these colossal bears feast in preparation for winter, offering unparalleled opportunities to observe and photograph their natural behaviours in a breathtaking autumn setting. With exclusive access to prime bear-viewing locations, expert guidance from seasoned photographers, and the comfort of a secluded lodge, this journey promises both adventure and awe-inspiring encounters. From the bustling city of Anchorage to the remote waterways of the Brooks River, experience Alaska at its most raw and resplendent.

This small group tour is a set departure tour operated by Natural Habitat Adventures, an official travel partner for The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

Trip Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Anchorage

Staying at Aviator Hotel

Your Alaskan adventure begins in Anchorage, a city nestled between mountain ranges and coastal waters. After arriving at the airport, you'll be transferred to your hotel, where you can unwind before meeting your Expedition Leader and fellow photographers at a welcome dinner. Take in the city's unique blend of urban culture and untamed wilderness, with moose roaming the streets and beluga whales in the nearby Cook Inlet.

Spend one night at the Aviator Hotel.

Day 2 Into the Wild – King Salmon & Brooks River

Staying at King Salmon Lodge

Fly southwest to King Salmon, the gateway to Katmai National Park, before transferring to King Salmon Lodge to get fitted with waders. A short floatplane flight takes you to the Brooks River area, where a ranger-led safety briefing prepares you for photographing the region’s legendary brown bears. Witness these mighty creatures feasting on late-season salmon in the golden glow of Alaska’s autumn light. After an exhilarating day, return by floatplane to King Salmon Lodge, your wilderness retreat for the next three nights.

January

Great for skiing (Rockies, Vermont), Northern Lights in Alaska, and avoiding crowds in national parks. Some regions (Northeast, Midwest) are very cold.

February

Mardi Gras in New Orleans, prime whale watching in California, and ideal desert hiking (Arizona, Nevada). Still wintery in the north.

March

Spring blossoms in D.C., great weather in Florida, and peak ski conditions in Utah. Southwest is warming up, and Texas wildflowers bloom.

April

National parks are stunning—Yosemite’s waterfalls peak, Grand Canyon is ideal, and mild weather across most of the country.

May

Perfect for road trips (California coast, Southwest), fewer crowds at national parks, and Alaska’s emerging wildlife before peak summer.

June

Great for hiking in the Rockies, long daylight in Alaska, and beach trips. But summer crowds start to rise.

July

Fireworks on July 4th, but national parks and cities are crowded and hot. Best for the Pacific Northwest and coastal escapes.

August

Glacier National Park shines, Maine’s seafood season is in full swing, but heat and humidity make much of the country uncomfortable.

September

Fall foliage begins in the Rockies, California wine harvest is underway, and temperatures cool. Fewer crowds in national parks.

October

Peak autumn colours in New England, Halloween in Salem, and perfect hiking weather. Great time for the Southwest’s deserts.

November

Desert national parks (Arizona, Utah) shine, early skiing begins, and Thanksgiving in NYC is iconic. Some regions start seeing winter weather.

December

Christmas lights in NYC, ski season in full swing, and warm winter escapes in Florida. But cold and storms affect northern states.
