So happy we booked Cade’s Cove and even happier that we were blessed with David as our guide. He was entertaining and informative and payed attention to our interests to really provide a personalized experience! They can’t promise wildlife sightings… but David is exceptional at spotting and knowing the “hot spots!” We were able to see deer up close and more than five bear including two cubs!
