Everything from the pre-flight instructions to the return to the center was done with curtesy and professionalism. Both our pilot and driver were interesting men with a real passion for Alaska, knowledgeable on their subject and thoughtful. We enjoyed our trip. The stops on the return trip were fun, interesting and entertaining. We highly recommend this trip.
It was one of my best experience ever! Our guide Bryan was the best, making sure we had the best time possible.. great views of diferent enviroments, Yukon River and much more. Our flight back to Faribanks was smooth with excelent views. Hightly recommended!!!
This trip was awesome! Could've have asked for a more fulfilling experience. Rachel was full of information, fun facts and answered all questions. We recommend this to anyone that is interested in seeing Alaskas interior. The only negative thing I can say is the certificate could be improved upon. I was disappointed in it!
