The trip would have been worth it for the flight alone. Sloan was great; took his time explaining all the sights and landed that thing smooth as silk. We were scheduled for the Brooks Fall trip, but got fogged out of that one. The management at Trail Ridge was excellent in getting us changed to our Crescent Lake trip instead. Don't feel like we missed a thing in the switch. Highly recommend.

This was...an experience to say the least…read more 1) The Wilderness, Wildlife, and Glacier tour was insanely overpriced. Get a rental car and do it yourself, you'll save a ton of money. We did the add on glacier cruise, could have booked it cheaper on our own. Again. Just do these things on your own. Trip started in Anchorage, drove us to the wildlife conservation center. We had about an hour there, so basically only time to watch the bears. We never even looked at the other animals just due to lack of time. Then we drove to the Portage Glacier Lodge for lunch that you pay for yourself, on our way we stopped at two spots to take pics, again places you could just stop at. Food was insanely overpriced. Then to the cruise, the cruise itself is an hour long and seeing the glacier is cool, but the ship and crew were the most rinky dink operation I've ever seen. 2) our tour guide locked the keys to the van inside the van. She did not even call to get help until over an hour after discovering the keys were locked inside. We had to wait at the lodge for almost 2 hours before someone came to bring her the spare keys. During this time no one communicated with us regarding a plan and we were just sitting there waiting. Tour guide "Captain C" was nowhere to be found. She then drove us quite erratically back to Anchorage, I presume out of stress. The pics she took aren't great, not like the ones on other reviews and are mostly blurry. 3) Book with a better group. This was a waste of money.

Best tour we could have hoped for on our first day in Alaska! (did the Wilderness, Wildlife,…read moreGlacier Experience from Anchorage tour) First of all, Grace, our tour guide, was beyond amazing. Not only was she very knowledgeable, pleasant, a good driver, but she also treated us all amazing: she remembered all our names, took photos of each of us on our phones with the views in the background, did a little trivia game at the end of the tour, and took wilderness photos on her camera and shared them with us within 2 hours from the end of tour. And they were great! Secondly, the stops were really fun. We spotted a moose mom with her baby in the wild, saw a few bald eagles, some sheep too. We also had a tasty lunch at Portage Glacier Lodge on one of the stops. Thirdly, the rainy weather didn't affect our experience as all because of Grace's non ending good mood & cool headed nature. Even though the glacier cruise at the end got canceled due to awfully strong winds, we did other stops and had fun. Be flexible and have fun! (the last photos of the animals up close are by Grace, all credits to her!)

We ended up doing the Lodge Tour which was exactly what we were looking for! Everything fell together exactly right! All reservations and flight times were exact. Our names were exactly were they needed to be! Nothing went wrong! We stayed at 1st class places and got 1st class treatment! The advise they give you in the itinerary is extremely useful, If you want it done right, use these guys! If and when we go back to Alaska, Ill be giving them a call

Great tour guide…read more She was very informative and enjoyed joking with customers. We really enjoyed traveling in the bus. It was full with 14 passengers but did not seem crowded. We had plenty of time at each stop to see everything. I would book with them again.

Can't say enough for our driver, DAN ! This guy is amazing! Very punctual, was on-time, & did…read moreeverything we asked ! He went above & beyond his expectations. He took us from Anchorage to Seward, then picked us up the next morning on his Birthday, & dropped us off at the Kenai Fjords tour before debarking to a cruise ship for his next group. He stopped at every (knife)shop & (chocolate)store we needed to go to before leaving for Seward. Then we stopped in Girdwood for lunch, per Dan at Chair 5 ! Great choice ! Dan is very friendly and knowledgeable about everything he does ! He knows the areas well, & is informative! I would definitely recommend him & the company for any tour or trip you do in his area. Thank you again, Dan !

Alaska Coastal Wildlife and Brown Bears…read more I did this tour in August 2023. It is a photography-centric tour and it lived up to the hype. We had bears. Lots of bears. Bear cubs. Carl Donohue was our Expedition Leader and did a great job. It was great to have someone with tons of bear experience, as it was close sometimes! It was a boat-based tour so that we would have the freedom to move to where the bears are. Day one we had bears. Day two we had weather, lots of weather. We were in Alaska after all. From there on out we were in bear heaven. I shot literally thousands of images (shooting at 30 frames per second will do that) and I really struggled to delete down to the 400 or so that I'm at now. It's tough to delete amazing photos because you have some that are even more amazing and you just don't need them all. The boat (yacht?) at 98 feet was super comfortable for our small group of photographers. The crew was awesome and the food was very good, certainly more than you would expect for a boat-based trip. I can't imagine how good you have to be at planning to pull that off. Every day I took "shot of a lifetime" photos of bears.

This is my second photography tour with Carl Donohue of Expeditions Alaska and all I can say is…read morethat he delivers on what is promised. The first was the Bald Eagles in Haines in November 2022. Recently, in April 2023, I went on the Hungry Whales trip in Sitka, photographing bubble-net feeding whales. In both cases the awesome photo opportunities far exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for creature comforts go on an Alaska Cruise. If you are a dedicated photographer, seeking unique photos, stick with Carl. He does his best to connect you with the subjects and help you capture those stunning shots you seek. If other opportunities arise, such as eagles feeding on fish in the whale tour, you'll get those as well. I strongly recommend Expeditions Alaska for your photo needs in this beautiful state.

Unexpectedly, we ended up being the only guests as others had backed out. We started out of Seward with a nice trip from Anchorage with Joan and Jeff as our shuttle team. They were both very personable and a pleasure to make the trip with to Seward. We were greeted with champagne and quickly got underway. Our accommodations were exactly as described in the Master suite. After two days of being wined and dined, we finally had to say, the "food is amazing, but we don't eat this much in a day. We need to slow down on the amount" LOL Certainly all you could possibly eat and nicely prepared. En En set beautiful tables for every meal and and our wine glasses were never dry. The weather was not the best for the first few days, so with everyone's agreement, we decided to roll the dice and cross the Gulf of Alaska to head towards Whittier. At that point, the weather became amazing, we did kayaking and had a 13,000 year old cocktail (Bourbon on Glacier ice). Who knew we would go to Alaska to get a tan? We spent the entire time cruising out on the deck getting sun. Captain Al and his team were wonderful hosts. I guess I could address every complaint that has been posted, but I'm not going to give it much credibility by spending any time on it. Yes, the boat is not brand new, but we had no issues on board (except the battery, but that's a little joke between Captain Al and us.). I can't speak to any of the other accommodations because we did not see or use them, but there were absolutely no complaints with ours. We are already considering the possibility of taking friends and going again some time. Thanks for everything Captain Al, En En and Christian! It was the trip of a lifetime! Thanks for being a part of it! Lori and Bob

The glacier tour was great and very informative, but the Ice Fishing was a bit more impressive in terms of the experience. Ryan was very friendly and knowledgeable, not to mention you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. We didn't have any luck for the first hour or so and he went off and managed to find a location where we couldn't seem to catch the fish fast enough. I lost count after 15 fish in the second location. I'd highly recommend going and would absolutely book with them if I find myself in Anchorage again during the summer season.

Great tour - booked via Viator…read more Includes transport from Anchorage, great guide on the coach and a 5 hour cruise with up close views of glaciers - 26 of them! Plenty of wildlife: sea lions, harbor seals, sea otters and sea birds. Also the food on the cruise was really surprisingly good: seafood chowder. One of the best soups of our entire trip! Unlimited coffee and teas, comfortable seating and plentiful clean restrooms. The staff were so kind and engaging. Love how they incorporate a forest ranger into the experience and mint jr rangers - how adorable!
