Haines from Skagway is a must! Easy ferry schedule. Tom was amazing and knowledgeable about everything Haines has to offer. He knows the local spots and locals who own the property for the best eagle and bear viewing!!

Tom was a very knowledgeable photographer that took us to really interesting locations for amazing photos! We spent an hour photographing a mom brown bear with cubs having lunch on salmon. I would give him 10 stars however we are limited to 5! BTW…it was raining the entire time. Don’t be frighten as the animals don’t care. Thanks Tom for a great day:) Kim&Bob
