Situated in Juneau, Alaska, Bear Creek Outfitters offers a gateway to Southeast Alaska’s rugged wilderness, specializing in bear viewing and fly fishing excursions that place adventurers right in the heart of untamed nature. Operating from the regional aviation hub, their trips take advantage of float planes to access remote river mouths, secluded coves, and prime wildlife viewing zones, far beyond the reach of typical visitors.

Bear Creek Outfitters stands out by providing carefully curated experiences led by knowledgeable guides like Chris and Sam, whose expertise elevates every outing.

For anglers, the company specializes in fly fishing trips targeting Dolly Varden and Pink Salmon under dynamic Alaska skies.

The remote locations speak to the company’s longstanding presence—recognized as Juneau’s oldest outfitter— and demonstrate their commitment to authentic, small-group wilderness adventure.
