Alaska’s premier bear viewing destination, the Kodiak Brown Bear Center, offers a true Alaskan adventure: outstanding bear viewing, without boardwalks or large groups of tourists. A visit to our home will leave you with unforgettable memories of your time spent in the heart of Kodiak’s wilderness with the legendary monarchs of our Archipelago: the Kodiak brown bear. The Kodiak Brown Bear Center is located on the southwest side of Kodiak Island. We provide exclusive guided bear viewing tours at the most famous and world-renowned locations to witness the life of Kodiak brown bears – Karluk Lake, Karluk River, and the Thumb River. Each of our guests will have the opportunity to observe these magnificent giants of Kodiak in their natural and unspoiled habitat. This is a life-changing and awe-inspiring experience; especially when they stop and make direct eye contact with you. It’s during that brief and exhilarating moment you instantly realize the bears are just as interested in learning about you as you are about them.
