HippoBear

See the World's Most Dangerous Wildlife... From Above!

We've retrofitted retired ski gondolas into silent, solar-powered floating observation pods. Glide silently above hippo pods in African rivers and along bear salmon runs in Alaskaโ€” closer than ever possible before, completely safe.

You're suspended 12 feet above an African river at dawn, watching a massive hippo pod emerge from the mist as your gondola silently drifts overhead. The 6,000-pound bull hippo looks directly up at you through the glass-bottom floor, locking eyes with you as he breaches the surface in a spray of water, while your pod remains stable and silent. You're close enough to see the water droplets on his skin but completely safeโ€”an encounter impossible any other way.
