Kodiak Brown Bear Centre

B Corp
Contact us

Set on the southwest side of Kodiak Island, the Kodiak Brown Bear Centre offers one of the best and most exclusive bear experiences. This small intimate lodge offers prolific bear viewing, whether on foot or by boat, in an environment only accessible by float plane.

The Kodiak Brown Bear Centre has just four en-suite cabins – thus a maximum of six clients at any one time. The rooms are comfortably furnished and spacious; each has a small deck overlooking the lake.

Why we like Kodiak Brown Bear Centre

The food is great, the guiding is sensational and the experience is second to none. This is the way to see bears in the wild.

Ideally suited for

  • Solo Traveller
  • Adventure Traveller

Where to stay

Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.

Brooks Lodge £££££

  • USA
  • Safari and Wildlife Lodge

Brooks Lodge is set in the brown bear country of Katmai National Park and close to the legendary Brooks Falls. Arguably the most iconic destination in the world for brown bear viewing, Brooks Falls comes alive in the summer months when the salmon burst into the streams of Katmai. This draws the bears out to feed and makes for amazing viewing. A short walk from the falls is Brooks Lodge, a relaxed property that has been open since 1950. The lodge offers 16 comfortable rooms with the main building set overlooking Naknek Lake.
