Two very happy Irish souls - Our trip was absolutely fabulous. Matthew (with 2 ts) was informative, funny and so friendly. The pics he took of us were great and we were clinging onto every word as he spoke so fluently about everything Alaska has to offer. Looking forward to the next tour already.

Great tour - Ina was fabulous. She knew a lot and gave us scenic stops for pictures. She also is great at taking pics and snapped images for a lot of us on the trip. It was definitely worth what we paid for the tour.

Replacement tour was great - We were going on this tour but because we were the only 2 people, they suggested an alternate trip. It was great, Melissa our driver guide and made the tour very informative and enjoyable. As a native , she had a lot of information that had us aware of her life growing up in Nome and the many challenges they experience during the winter months. Would suggest this tour with the Conservation center for animals.

Learned about an amazing phenomenon! - Allison provided us with lots of info about the amazing Turnagain Arm phenomenon. It was all new to us. She also showed us and told us much about the vegetation in the area and how they live off the land. Also saw a moose along the stream. She made it an excellent excursion!

It's really A Must See Destination & Aunt Gary is an amazing guide! - Gary told us that it's his nickname Aunt Gary because he likes to cook :). I didn't try his food, but I'm sure it's the same great as his guide's work. Gary knows everything about Alaska: animals, birds, plants, geography, history, stories & so on. & he really loves Alaska! It was such a pleasure to see all these breathtaking views with so interesting and knowledgeable Gary's narratives. His speech is so beautiful & has sense of humor! It was amazing afternoon tour with wonderful sightseeing of unforgettable Alaska! THANK YOU VERY MUCH GARY & Alaska's Finest Tours & Cruises!

Great time - Small group of 12. Guide, Ina, was great and knew a lot about the area and how to spot wildlife. She engaged with our group and built a friendly report quickly.
