Amazing experience as a couple doing the full day tour in February. Great company, delicious fresh-baked buns with the winter BBQ lunch! The dogs were so excited and friendly. We could not have had a better day!

This is a fabulous tour company to work with. I booked this independently of the cruise line as we do not prefer the larger groups the cruise lines typically have. We booked Chilkoot Lake Nature and Wildlife viewing. After booking this, we inquired about having enough time to see the Summit and Bridge. The owner responded back quickly and offered to arrange that for us as well. I was happy not to have to find another tour operator. The day itself went seamlessly. We were greeted off the ship, by Paul, met the other 2 people on our tour and escorted to the fast ferry to Haynes. Jen ,our tour guide, met us off ferry and we headed out. We were not long into our travels when we saw a brown bear fishing in the river. We saw many eagles perched in trees but not in flight as they appeared to not prefer to fly in the rain!We were able to view the Rainbow glacier with some breaks In The cloud cover. Jen was interesting, and knowledgeable. Paul was there to meet us for the second part of our day, which was a private tour. Paul explained the history of the area as we drove through town. We chatted, asked questions and Paul was able to answer them all. When we arrived at the bridge , it was almost closing time but we were expected. The amazing thing about this was we were the ONLY people there at that time. Our pictures were amazing as there are no other people in the background.We hope to return to the area in the future and will definitely use this company again!

This tour was well worth the money. Our guide, Brian, regaled us with fascinating historical, personal and local information and stories. The drive around the town and up the historic mountain pass was more flexible and offered more photographic moments than the more expensive train ride. The weather was rainy and foggy, but the experience was still the highlight of our trip.

We did not see the Northern Lights on this outing due to overcast sky. Based on the experience of the operator and the tour guide, I suspect they/he had a good idea on not seeing the Northern Lights, so the trip ended-up being a cash-grab. At the pickup point, we should have been warned and given an option to skip and a refund.
