Welcome
Welcome to Bassett's Bear Viewing LLC, where adventure meets immersion in the heart of bear country. I'm Lance Bassett, owner, and Naturalist Guide, and I'm excited to invite you on an unforgettable journey into the wilds of Katmai National Park and Preserve.
My path to guiding began after retiring from the Navy in 2012. Drawn to the pristine landscapes of Katmai, I found my passion amidst the filming of Disney Nature's "BEARS" movie. Collaborating with award-winning cinematographers, I cultivated my skills and deepened my connection with the natural world. With extensive training and years of guiding experience, I've had the privilege of leading guests from diverse backgrounds, sharing in their wonder as they encounter the marvels of nature. Whether it's the exhilaration of spotting a Coastal Brown Bear or the awe-inspiring vistas of Katmai's extreme landscapes, every moment underscores the wilderness's ability to inspire and transform.
I've been honored to participate in KTVA's "Big Bear Week," guide esteemed Nikon Ambassadors, and contribute to publications like Alaska Magazine and Homer Magazine, showcasing Katmai's wildlife and landscapes. Join me as we delve into the beauty of this extraordinary wilderness and witness the majestic Coastal Brown Bear. Let me lead you on the adventure of a lifetime. Your Adventure Awaits!
