Do not waste your money…read more Mike Oden is a salesman and he will tell you what you want to hear. I spoke personally with Mike Oden multiple times asking him if a seven day hunt was sufficient to get a shot at a coastal grizzly. He said "yes." From this conversation, the three of us hunters were very disappointed that we didn't even get an opportunity at a bear at the end of our trip. I personally didn't even see a grizzly. When we expressed our thoughts to Mike Oden, he responded "that's hunting". Three of us hunted together and, like I said, I didn't even see a grizzly. My fellow hunters did see a sow with a cub approximately 3 miles out just under the snow line with very good binoculars. This is when we realized we were hunting interior bears, not coastal, unlike the description. The two hunters that I was with had black bear tags. They did not see a black bear their entire trip. On the second day, we all awoke ready to hunt but the blinds weren't ready. My buddy and I sat on a rock until 4pm waiting for guides to set them up. So losing the majority of the second day has now turned this 6-day hunt into a 5-day hunt. When we finally took our raft to our hunting spot, blinds were set up at a stream that dumped into the lake we were camping at, an island about 2 miles below. There were four blinds set up total, all about 150 yards from each other on this stream in a straight line. We were surrounded by thousands of miles of wildness in Alaska and four hunters were placed all within 500 yards of one another. I couldn't believe it. If a bear would have come to my left, the hunter next to me and I would have been shooting at the same bear. Same on my right side, because I was one of the two hunters that were placed in the middle of the line. The next day, I told the head of camp, a native of Alaska in his 60s, that I wasn't sitting in the blind again. Just to give you a picture, the head of camp was seen running his fingers through the sand on a track and smelling his fingers to see if the track was fresh. It was laughable and pathetic. I spent the rest of my hunt with my guide looking for sign on foot and cruising the shoreline via the raft in Alaska. My "guide" was from Montana and had never been at this camp before. With only one week experience at a different camp in Alaska the year before, I quickly began to realize that these guides were more like "companions". Another "guide" was from Minnesota and this was his first time at the camp, too. The next "guide" was a nurse from Anchorage who likes taking vacation and guiding in the Alaskan wilderness. These gentlemen were very nice and will be good guides once they learn the area. However, they were not much more helpful than I was when navigating and finding places to hunt in a limited time frame. If you're silly enough to book this hunt, make sure Mike quotes you on the flight in to the camp. 3 hunters were charged $3,720 per person to fly for 45 minutes. The only positive things I can say about this hunt was the food was good and the guide from Montana will be great once he learns the area. They made this trip a little more tolerable. I would not book this hunt again and I recommend you don't either. This hunting trip is more like a camping trip with a gun.

Our guide Jack was particularly amazing but everyone we met at Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours were experts in their field, extremely friendly and accommodating. The Brand new ATV's were so much fun to drive in the Alaska Countryside! The guides do a great job of stopping and sharing knowledge about everything you see along the way! Everything is Included! Not only do they include lunch, snacks and water for the entire journey, they also outfit you with all the necessary outerwear you might need. As a larger guy I was a little nervous as most places don't carry my sizes. Not only could they accommodate me easily they even had sizes up to 5x. If you are on the fence about this tour definitely pull the trigger. They will take great care of you and this tour will be the highlight of your trip!

First we have done ATV in Mexico and in Hawaii on some amazing backdrops. This by far was the best. The machines were perfect and so was the equipment. They had great gear that kept a lot of the mud, dust and water out. It can't be avoided completely but they do everything in their power. I was hesitant about having to wear a helmet but have to say it is a must. As you fly through the trails at catch an errant tree limb this takes it like a champ. We loved getting to the glacier and then getting the option to polar plunge in the glacier. They made it easy and encouraged it. The food and snacks exceeded our expectations and we had the perfect amounts of stops. We saw 3 moose and two of the three were a mother/baby pair. So cute for sure. We saw eagles fly over head too. This was just amazing and the staff made us feel a part of their family. The sand dunes were a blast in these machines. So many good things to say.

She was a wealth of knowledge and such a fun person to spend the day with. Everywhere we went, she seemed to know everything. She interspersed personal anecdotes allowing us to get to know her better and to understand more about the area. Everything was included in the price of the tour. Lunch (of your choice - not just preset options), a beer at the brewery, and admission to the nature center were all taken care of. There were also snacks and water available in the van. We got lucky with a small group (4 people including us!), but the van only holds 13 people - much better than the giant coach busses! I cannot recommend Salmon Berry, and Michelle in particular, highly enough

The entire experience was well-organized, smooth, and unforgettable from start to finish. A special thank you to Lindsey, who did a fantastic job providing clear, helpful information and putting together our itinerary. Everything was easy to follow and stress-free because of her attention to detail. And huge kudos to Hannah, our musher -- she was absolutely awesome! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and very professional throughout the ride. You could genuinely see how much she loves her dogs... and how much they love her right back. That made the whole experience feel even more special and authentic. They have everything you'll need to keep you warm from suits, gloves, and shoes... AND you will also get to see the cute puppies! If you're considering dog sledding, I highly recommend Snowhook Adventures. It was an amazing, memorable adventure!
