We had a great time and learned quite a bit from Josh and Linda. The weather was rainy/sleet but Josh was quick to recommend finding other cool spots along the route. Aside from the amazing views and cool wildlife— we learned a ton about the history of Alaska too. The trip was well worth it!

I can honestly say this trip was totally worth every penny! Tim was a fantastic tour guide who is very very knowledgable and a lovely friendly person. He’s the best tour guide I’ve ever had and I’ve done a lot of tours! I have learnt so much about Alaska today, as well as seeing lots of wildlife and beautiful views of mountains, lakes and glaciers. Tim went out of his way to extend our tour to ensure we saw the boretide, something that only happens twice a month! A great experience that I will more than likely never have again! Thank you so much Tim, we had a fantastic day and it was all down to you 😊Caryn M

We had a wonderful day with Josh! We were able to spot Dall sheep, bald eagles, and a moose in the wild. The wildlife conservation center was amazing. I loved how Josh knew all of the animals names, ages, and a little bit about them. We couldn’t see the glacier because of weather but instead Josh took us to a nice hike in the rainforest to see a waterfall. All in all it was a great tour. 😊Traveler403080
