Quick but fantastic wildlife tour. Our guide was incredibly informative and knew all the right spots to see bears, eagles and starfish. It was a magical experience!

The staff was the best, warm, knowledgable, friendly and funny. As per the expectation from the cover image of the tour on seeing bears upclose, not as happy. The point where this tour takes you is way too far and too tiny. I was hoping for a WALK neer the salmon river in a stretch of land.

The beach exploration was special. We saw a red crab, many plump starfish (purple and brown) a sea slug, sea anemone, mussels, eagles, and a kelp whip. The waterfall was beautiful, and Kaitlyn sure worked hard for us to spot a bear. I recommend!
