Genuinely, a trip of a lifetime

martin_b, Jun 2026
The best organised and thrilling trip we have ever had, it delivered everything we wanted from this experience, our friendly and knowledgeable guide Tyler deserves a special mention. He knew the spots that delivered the bears, both black and brown and he networked with the other guides in the ares to finish our trip with a young humpback calf breaching. Add in seals, sea lions, bald eagles and a lonely deer and you have an idea of the full day we had. The boat deserves a special mention (and the delicious food), the boat was a tremendous thrill and very suited to the conditions, if in doubt about this particular trip, just do it, you won’t regret a single moment

Bear and Waterfalls Tour Superb

John_R, May 2024
The weather was not in our favour with rain and high winds causing the tour to be lengthened but the poor weather was more than compensated for by a great skipper a tour guide Bex. The food and drink of excellent quality and the wildlife didn't seem to mind the weather.
