What an amazing experience. This tour is perfect if you love the outdoors, learning about nature, and enjoying a good meal. It has inspired me to learn more about foraging in my hometown.

Yea yea! Thanks Marc. I had so much fun with you and Chris. What a day! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed Alaska, and that foraging was one of the highlights of your time here. Take care!

Leah was our guide for our tour - she is very knowledgeable and provides helpful tips for identifying plants. The lunch afterwards was great and rewarding knowing that we picked all our ingredients. Did not know what to expect when first booked this tour. Was prepared for a hike but this was a very leisurely stroll (which made sense as you need to be on the lookout at all times for potential food). Good for all levels of fitness (but again, if you're looking to break a sweat, this probably isn't for you).
