The staff were great and kept us safe. We rescheduled due to bad weather. The flight over and back was smooth but three people in the middle bench seat on a Beaver is really cramped.
My only complaint is timing. Our 2:30 flight left the dock on time and beached about 4:15. We were instructed to be back at the plane by 7:00 for a 7:15 departure. That sounds reasonable but…
Then we had to go to the visitor center for “bear school” and didn’t get out of there until 5:00. We were told there was a two hour wait for the main platform earlier in the day but now it should be less than an hour and they give you a buzzer so you know when it is your turn. Now I’m getting nervous. Then you walk a mile to get to the platforms. HOORAY…no wait. So we had about an hour in the platform jostling for a good spot and then it was time to return. It was all very rushed.
There are other companies that stay five hours.
This was $1000 for one hour viewing bears with no wait time getting on the ma8n platform.
