J Bear Tours

J Bear Tours is a family-owned bear-viewing air service established in 2018 and run by owner Chris (the site gives his first name only), who is pilot, guide and mechanic in one. He has 25 years of flying experience, a bachelor's degree in aviation, and has been guiding in Katmai and Lake Clark national parks since 2014.

Trips fly from the Homer Spit by wheeled bush plane and land on beaches in Lake Clark or Katmai, favoring quieter, more natural viewing spots over the crowds at Brooks Falls. The operation emphasizes staying unintrusive to the bears, and the site states a guarantee that guests will see them.
