Awesome tour. Our guide was Stew, also known as Bear1. He's the cultural leader for the Tlinket Raven Clan. He found the bears that no one else seemed to be finding. Loved hearing about his life and the organization of his clan as we searched for bears.

This was a tour with a very knowledgable guide. We did see a mother bear and two cubs in the meadow. The scenery was beautiful also.
We were in the wilderness.

My daughter and I were so pleased with this excursion. Our tour guide worked so hard to find brown bears. We never saw one however the tour was still fantastic. Our guide was wonderful. I would highly recommend this.

Excellent trip. Our tour guide, James was local to the area and very knowledgeable. We were lucky and saw a Bear with her three cubs! Amazing!

The guide could not have been better. This trip was not in an overloaded bus from the cruise ship but rather a nice van holding no more than 6 people. The guide spent extra effort finding the right spot where bears could or would be seen. I highly recommend this trip.

We had a fantastic time with our tour guide, Stu. He made every effort to find the bears for us, knew the town history, shared local stories, culture, ancestors, and personal stories as well. Saw a total of 12 bears and made our day! I highly recommend this tour and this guide!!!

it was awesome our guide said they had not seen any bear in couple of days so we started out on our trip saw dear along the way came across a group who had just seen a bear cross the road waited did not see the bear so we moved on our guide said there might be some bears at beach so off we went when we got almost to the beach when we saw 4 big brown bears and a cub they were about 50 yards away got some great pictures of grizzly bears was a great sight see bear fishing for salmon

Of course, one always want to see many bears, but we were fortunate to see a bear with her cubs. Very impressive with Stuart our guide and his comments during the tour. Your representative was there to direct us to our tour, and it left in a timely fashion. We only had 10 people on our van, and certainly from a price point as well as not being herded like cattle into a large bus made this tour much more enjoyable.

Our guide was a chief of one of the Tlingit tribes, and had great stories about the history of his people, their culture and practices. Oh, and he found bears! Probably the best of our several excursions during the Alaska cruise

My husband and I were the only two on this tour, with guide Stu Mills, who happened to be a chief and medicine man of the local tribe so we got a very informative and personal tour of the island. We learnt about the self supporting people, their local customs, totem pole carvings, natural medicines and much, much more. The tour stretched from 3 to over 4 hours and we saw a very big, rather skinny, brown bear right beside the road. We were able to get very close to him while he grazed on the vegetation on the roadside. He also explained that it was important to the local people to get more involved with taking tours as it added much needed income to the town, while tours with the big companies added little to the local economy. The weather was perfect and we were wishing we hadn't put on the merino vests, thick jerseys and heavy boots.
Can't thank Stu enough for his knowledge, expertise and kindness during our tour and would recommend this tour to anyone.
