Our week in Alaska was truly on the best of my life. Never before have I had the opportunity to see so much wildlife in its natural habitat. Kayaking through the ice fields, having lunch next to a calving glacier, seeing a 19 legged star fish - every experience was unique and unforgettable. Thank you so much.

Thank you guiding us around Bear Glacier lagoon in July. We all felt it was among the most memorable - and certainly the most unique aspect of our visit to Alaska. I still clearly recall the sounds of the ice melting and bubbles popping when you led us kayaking. We appreciate all the work that you did to make our week in Alaska a memorable vacation.
