From the moment we were picked up right on time at our lodging and driven to base camp, everything was organized and professional. Our guide, Shane, was outstanding. As complete first-time fishermen, we appreciated how instructive, knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly patient he was. He got us fitted with waders, explained everything clearly, and made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the trip. The private spin fishing excursion itself was an absolute blast. While we only landed one beautiful rainbow trout, the experience was never about the number of fish. Shane's enthusiasm, encouragement, and sense of humor made every cast enjoyable, and the breathtaking scenery made the day unforgettable. The exhilarating boat ride down the river was an adventure in itself and added even more excitement to an already fantastic outing. If you're looking for an authentic Alaskan fishing experience with a top-notch guide who genuinely wants you to have a great time, we highly recommend Phantom Tri River Charters. Thank you, Shane, for creating memories we'll never forget!

A Breathtaking Experience Ruined by the Owner's Appalling Behaviour…read more Denali and the glacier landing were absolutely magnificent. The scenery was breathtaking, and the flight itself should have been one of the highlights of my visit to Alaska. Unfortunately, our guide and pilot, Paul -- who, as I understand it, is also the owner of the business -- turned it into an extremely unpleasant experience. Throughout the trip, Paul was consistently rude, dismissive and thoroughly unprofessional. While the other six passengers were boarding the aircraft one by one, I politely asked whether I could use those couple of minutes to take a photograph. Each passenger needed roughly 30 seconds to board, so my request would not have delayed the group at all. Nevertheless, Paul abruptly refused, without offering any reasonable explanation or showing even basic courtesy. His hostile attitude continued throughout the experience. When we returned, I calmly asked him why he had been so rude to me. His response was that it was "my problem". Even more shockingly, while I was standing by reception and had neither threatened nor insulted him, he physically pushed me. I found this behaviour completely unacceptable. I have travelled to 52 countries and 27 American states, and I have rarely encountered such disrespectful treatment in the tourism industry. A paying guest should never be spoken to or treated in this manner -- particularly by the owner of the company. The natural experience itself is extraordinary: Denali is spectacular, the mountains are unforgettable, and landing on the glacier is genuinely special. However, I strongly recommend requesting any pilot or guide other than Paul. Alaska deserves to be experienced with wonder and excitement, not spoiled by hostility and humiliation. Beautiful destination. Unforgettable scenery. Absolutely appalling customer service from Paul.

Be careful with the water as you may end up in Anchorage, said the in keeper as he drove around…read moretown before check in time to introduce this town to us. Yes the water current is strong. Stronger than it may seems. Park itself is very small but a great place to spot Mt Denali on a good day. Mountain is not always visible but chances of seeing the mountain is an early morning. Sun might rise around 4 or so in the summer but that's the best time to come to the park if mountain may show their face. We were in town for three days. On the last day, the weather finally cleared up and there! Oh it was so beautiful, I stood there admiring the mountain for a long time. My in keeper said only 10% of visitors get to see the mountain, and I felt very lucky to be that 10%. Other than that, this is a very small park.

My son and I enjoyed getting out in a river and actually digging and panning for our own gold! Not like other places where they 'guarantee' you will find some because they have sprinkled the dirt beforehand with gold dust! This was actually driving out in the middle of nowhere, hiking to a secluded spot on the bank of a river, shoveling dirt and gravel from the riverbed, straining the larger rocks out, and then panning for the small specks of gold. While the flour gold is small (not like the nuggets you see on television), this is the reality of gold panning. And Rich is quite a character - he's a straight shooter telling great stories along the way. He was patient with teaching us how to pan and was excited when we found what we were looking for! It was a great experience and I highly recommend it!
