Do you always see bears on the bear viewing trips?
No. There’s always a possibility (although very remote) that you won’t see bears. However, this is a trip of a lifetime. It’s absolutely beautiful and a wild part of Alaska only a few get to experience. Don’t let the remote possibility of not seeing bears stop you from experiencing what others only dream of.

What happens if the seas are too rough to go fishing?
A full refund for the day’s fishing or rebook, customer’s choice. The full refund is guaranteed, the rebook is strictly space available.

When is the best time to fish?
This question is the main reason we do not accept reservations over the Internet. The “best time” is relative to the species of fish, how many different species you plan to catch, whether size or quantity is the most important factor, how many days you intend to fish, etc. We discuss every one of these issues with each client to determine when is the best time for “you” to fish.

What do I do with my fish?
We fillet your fish for free, and offer vacuum packing and freezing at competitive rates. We ship FedEx (overnight) 4 days a week, Monday thru Thursday. If you are flying back home, the most economical way to get your catch home is on the airlines with you. There are several other options we’d be glad to discuss with you.
