This was our absolute favorite type of our trip! Matt and Leah were fabulous guides! We learned so much and the lunch was beyond delicious! We were traveling with 4 teenagers who enjoyed it just as much as we did. DO NOT MISS this tour!

Hi Jessica! Thank you so much. We had a blast with you and your family. It was amazing to see all of you interested in what we found and cook, and the conversations were great. Thanks for your review, and let us know if there is anything else we can do for you in the future.

This was a perfect addition to our trip in Alaska. The guides were excellent and truly love to share their knowledge of the plants and flowers. Being able to taste some of our foraged finds was delicious and so much fun. We appreciate all the extra details that made the experience so unique, including the campfire blueberry thumbprint cookies.
