Fantastic

mary_p, Jul 2023

Was better than expected, smooth airplane ride, and lots of bears, females & cubs, two males argueing over clambeds, fantastic sites! Heard about Brooks Falls and the lines, so glad we chose Alaska Air via Viator instead. We're recommending it to all our friends. Pilot was calm cool and professional....best experience we had !!

Such a great trip!

I was very nervous to go on the small plane but our guide/pilot Abby was amazing! We saw a lot of bears and she made sure and listened to what alllparties were hoping for with the excursion and delivered! The bears were amazing!

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Angela, we are very glad that the bears delivered such a memorable experience. Of course Abbee and our entire team had a part in this 5 star rating. Our smaller groups add for this type of attention. Thank you for taking the time to describe your experience.

Must-do excursion while visiting Alaska

Sheila_M, Jun 2021

Amazing experience. Nothing compares. A must-do excursion while visiting Alaska. We observed numerous bears. Our guide Nate was knowledgeable and capable. Our day was a pure delight. The lunch was very good.

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Shelia: So glad we earned your five stars. Alaska is an incredible place and we (and Nate) always excited to show it off. We are very pleased that you wrote us this review. Thank you.

Outstanding excursion

This excursion exceeded all expectations. The Regal Air team was outstanding. Although we booked this for the bear viewing experience at Lake Clark National Park, the flightseeing en route to the park was equally impressive. Our pilot/guide provided great views and commentary of the sights along the way. The clear weather conditions were a bonus as well. At the park we were briefed on how to interact with the bears to maintain their comfort as well as ours. We experienced close-up encounters with several bears that were truly memorable. This is an excursion not to be missed. Would do it again!

My wife and I went on this tour and it was fantastic. The operator went out of their way to ensure we were taken care of. The Pilot (Stephanie) was both a great pilot and a great guide. Lunch was really good. There was a lot of food provided. I'd gladly do this tour again with this operator on a future visit.

Response from Host, Jun 2019

Your review (and 5 stars) says it all... We delivered as promised. Thank you for choosing our company. We're honored that you took the time to report your great experience! We'll be sure Steph and everyone at our company gets your feedback.See you next time.
