Mathew is a great guide and very knowledgeable on each of the experiences of this trip. Great time. He even went the extra mile in showing us his secret eagle nest area that was active- where we observed the mother eagle feeding her chicks from an observable and non-disturbable distance. Truly remarkable experience for all.
