World Famous Bear Watching at Brooks Falls

Few experiences in Alaska are as awe-inspiring as a bear-watching tour at Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park. Have you seen a photo of bears standing at the top of a waterfall waiting for salmons to jump into their mouths? That’s what this tour is all about. To get this unforgettable experience, you will have to pay a great amount of effort and money for limited time being close to Alaska’s iconic brown bears. Was it worth it? Absolutely, if watching wildlife is on your bucket list for your Alaska trip.

Kayak to the Disappearing Columbia Glacier

Columbia Glacier at Columbia Bay of Prince William Sound, Alaska, is one of the fastest retreating glaciers in the world due to climate changes. The hope is, now that the glacier has almost retreated to land, it will stop retreating and start approaching again at some time. The tour of kayaking to the face of Columbia Glacier starts from Valdez, Alaska and is a popular one. Although not dog friendly, I highly recommend this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The big platform on the top boasts the world’s biggest infinity pool, which is probably the most attractive selling point of this resort. I splurged and spent one day there during my stay in Singapore.
