Informative and Beautiful - Tim was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Alaska’s natural history and culture. He made sure we were safe, comfortable, and fully immersed in every experience. The small group size also made the tour feel personal and intimate, allowing us to connect with fellow travelers. I can’t recommend Caribou Tours enough.
