Emerald Air Service

Emerald Air Service is a bear viewing company based in beautiful Homer, Alaska. Keep an eye on the water as we commonly see whales and sea otters.

Emerald Air Service is the oldest guided bear viewing company based in Homer and have had the pleasure of sharing respect, understanding, and love for Alaska’s Coastal Brown Bears with many thousands of guests while maintaining a perfect safety record in over 30 years of operation. We operate out of two turbine de Havilland Otters on floats; spacious seats–each with a window and a headset. The are

as of Katmai National Park which we visit are a scenic hour's flight past volcanoes and glaciers lining Kachemak Bay and the Cook Inlet. Spend a day in Katmai's back-country with a small group lead by our naturalist guide or come with us to Brooks Falls to see the iconic moment of salmon leaping up waterfalls only to be caught in the jaws of Coastal Brown Bears. Either trip you choose, you will have 5 hours on the ground with these awe-inspiring bears. One of Emerald Air Service’s defining attributes is that our main goal is to educate guests about Katmai’s majestic residents, the Coastal Brown Bear, and the country in which they live. We hope everyone who takes one of our trips leaves with not only great photos, but with an understanding of bears, with knowledge of how to move respectfully throughout their world, and with a love for wild places.

Looking back on the 2025 Bear Viewing Season with nothing but smiles 🙂

Grateful for all the new friends and memories made, returning friends who joined us again, the best partnerships, a rockstar performance by all the bears, the emerald fam, and of course all the sweet treats from our Cookie Monster.

Big thanks to all who made this season the best days ever.

xoxo, 🐻

August Recap 💫

In August, we wrapped up our self-guided trips to Brooks Falls and moved our guided bear trips to Moraine Creek in Katmai.

Moraine creek brought on new bears, lots more cubs, bears fishing for salmon, more happy customers and plenty fun adventures.

Thank you August ❤️

June gave us: Bears digging for clams on the beach, mating season antics, a mama with 3 curious cubs, plenty of bear naps, epic floatplane views and so much more. Best of all, we got to share it with so many smiling customers along the way.

We are left feeling extra grateful for every moment spent in Katmai Bear country. Ready to see what July brings! 🐾
