Alaska Bear

welcome to katmai kayak

Experience the ultimate outdoor Alaskan adventure on the pristine waters of Lake Iliamna.

Katmai Kayak will guide you on an unforgettable journey of hiking, fishing, animal viewing, and unparalleled beauty along the shores of Alaska’s largest lake. Observe nature like never before through the unique perspective of traveling with a sea kayak to examine and explore a virtually untouched area of Alaska.

Peer into the deep crystal clear waters and view one of the many fish or fresh water seals inhabiting the lake. Through the quiet slicing of your paddle along still waters get a close view of bears, fresh water harbor seals, migratory birds and other wildlife without disturbing their natural environment. Stretch your legs by hiking beside roaring waterfalls and view salmon jumping up from the white mist of the falls awakening from a long winters rest. Get a bubbly rush from drinking out of nature’s best natural soda springs. Taste the sweetness of natural plants such as wild onions, salmon berries, blue berries, black and wine berries. Choose a 3 day, 5 day, or a week long excursion with our local guides who provide expert knowledge of the area, plants and animals.

Our location sits between two national parks: Lake Clark and Katmai National park. Your adventure begins when you fly southwest from Anchorage through a vast sea of rugged mountains, over glacier-fed creeks and streams to Lake Iliamna’s own Kokhanok, a small rural village of about 180 residents primarily made up of Yup’ik and Athabascan descent. Kokhanok is a unique place with a variety of topography making it an outdoor enthusiast’s heaven. Mountains, trees, rocky hills and beaches, and open water allow for unlimited opportunities to explore. Come join us for the ultimate in Alaskan adventures!
