Two times anchor every stay, and they are the same for every guest. Build your Alaska Airlines flights around them and everything else falls into place.
Book the afternoon Alaska Airlines arrival into King Salmon (AKN), the later flight of the day, which lands around 5 PM. That is the flight our airport shuttle meets, and we bring you straight to the B&B to settle in. Please do not book a Sunday arrival.
Check out by 11 AM. Book the midday Alaska Airlines departure out of King Salmon, the earlier flight out; our shuttle leaves the B&B at 11 AM to connect with it, so your last morning is unhurried and you make your flight with room to spare.
Why these times are firm: it keeps the experience the same for every guest, and it gives the two of us the window we need to reset the B&B for the next group. An earlier arrival or a later departure means no shuttle for it and time spent waiting at the airport. No exceptions.
Your days at Brooks Falls are unhurried and immersive. A day on the platforms runs about six to eight hours, timed around the floatplane that carries you out over the tundra and back. It is a full day with the bears, framed by two of the most beautiful flights in Alaska.
Your first and last days are travel days. You arrive in the afternoon, settle into the B&B, and ease into the trip, then fly out around midday at the end. So a three-night stay gives you two full days in the field, with time on either side to land, unwind, and catch your breath before the long journey home.
With those two days, you get to shape the trip. Many guests spend both at Brooks Falls, and when the viewing is as good as it often is, no one regrets it. Others give a day to the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes or to fishing the Naknek. Each is a trip of its own, so it is worth thinking about what you most want to see. Tell us, and we will build your days around it.
