BOOKING AND RESERVATION  INFORMATION
    Please note that this is not an on-line reservation form.

Please read this "fine print" information before continuing:

A note about Wildlife Photography: Be informed that these are absolutely and positively not tours where you can stand at the water's edge and snap a picture of a salmon jumping up a waterfall into a bear's mouth. If this is what you have your heart set on please don't sign up for our trip. While our tours can and often do provide excellent opportunities for wildlife photography, such an experience is not guaranteed. Wildlife sightings, proximity to the animals, lighting conditions, and weather are ultimately beyond our control. Furthermore the management of the Tongass Forest, as well as our own philosophy as wildlife guides, places a greater emphasis on not harassing or displacing wildlife over picture taking activities. The beach viewing site at Pack Creek, for instance, is approximately 30 yards from the creek itself. This is necessary to allow the bears to freely access a vitally important food source without being displaced by our presence. Therefore a good lens for distance photography is advised as you will not always be allowed to get closer for a better shot. But more important than bringing the right equipment is to come prepared with realistic expectations and a desire to truly experience the landscape and wildlife, not just document it. While we hope you end up with some great pictures, we also hope you have at least one moment when you lower your camera to look around and just go, "Wow!"

The extremely customized nature of our tours, and the speed with which our daily schedules can become fully booked, makes on-line reservations impractical for our company.  Instead, this page is designed to help you provide the information we need so that we can communicate with you about potential tours as efficiently as possible.

Please read this page carefully and then send us an email with the 5 (five) points of information requested.

1. TYPE OF ACTIVITY YOUR PARTY IS INTERESTED IN:  Bear viewing, freshwater fishing, glacier flightseeing, or air taxi drop-off and pick-up service to remote locations. If you are interested in a tour that combines more than one of these activities please let us know that also.

 
2. THE EXACT DATE (OR DATES) YOU WILL BE IN JUNEAU:

Cruiseship passengers please note that we will need to know the arrival and departure times of your ship in Juneau.  Any other clients with time limitations that need to be accommodated should let us know also.
 
3. THE NAME OF EACH PERSON IN YOUR PARTY, AND THEIR WEIGHT:

Client weight information is important to safe operation of the aircraft. If you do not know the exact weight of someone in your party your best approximate guess is at least helpful.
 
4. ANY PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS THAT MAY AFFECT ANYONE IN YOUR PARTY’S ABILITY TO GET AROUND OR FULLY PARTICIPATE IN OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES:

In particular our bear viewing and fishing tours require that participants be capable of a moderate amount of physical activity.  This includes climbing in and out of the floatplane; stepping down approximately 18” from the float into shallow water and wading a few step to shore; walking a minimum of ½ mile over uneven ground; and spending several hours outdoors in a remote site without amenities such as shelters, benches, or bathrooms.
 
5. YOUR MAILING ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER:  We often find that a phone conversation can be more efficient in gathering information and answering questions than e-mailing.

Feel free to call us at our home office 907-790-2120 seven days a week anytime from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Alaska time zone. Please note there is a one (1) hour difference between Alaska and West Coast time zones (e.g. 12 noon in California is 11 AM in Alaska), four (4) hours between Alaska and East Coast (e.g. 12 noon in New York is 8 AM in Alaska).  We would also be glad to give you a call.  Just let us know in your email that you are interested in speaking with us, and the most convenient time for you to receive a call.
