    Travelers consistently rave about the bear viewing experience at Brooks Falls, with pilot Trent earning enthusiastic praise throughout the reviews. The flight itself gets high marks for being smooth and scenic, and multiple guests mention this was a trip highlight or even a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Several travelers appreciated that Trent and his team stepped in when other companies cancelled due to weather, helping them salvage their plans and still get to see the incredible bear activity at Katmai. A few practical notes worth knowing: you'll typically have around three hours on the ground, which most found adequate though one traveler wished for more time. The small float planes can get chilly, especially if weather turns or you're seated near the doors, so dress in warm, waterproof layers. One guest mentioned an uncomfortable seating situation in the luggage area, though this seems to be an isolated case. Bring your own water and snacks for the day. The consensus is clear though – seeing dozens of bears fishing for salmon up close makes this an unforgettable Alaskan adventure.

    We had an absolute Blast with Trent on our trip over to Brooks Falls. He's a great pilot, a seasoned vet who makes the trip fun. The plane is super cool, complete with modern color avionics and a comfy ride. We will go back to Trent for every adventure we can in AK. Side note- dress warm, the De Havilland is not heated. You will truly enjoy this trip!
