It was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The flight was great and Drew, the bear guy, made the time very enjoyable. Highly recommend. I would do it again in a heart beat!

This is a wonderful excursion. My grandson was allowed to ride "co-pilot"(a highlight of his Alaska trip) The plane ride to the viewing area was beautiful, our naturalist guide was most definitely an "original": knowledgeable, independent and just plain fun. Best of all, we saw fishing bears!! We recommend it highly
