We were going on this tour but because we were the only 2 people, they suggested an alternate trip. It was great, Melissa our driver guide and made the tour very informative and enjoyable. As a native , she had a lot of information that had us aware of her life growing up in Nome and the many challenges they experience during the winter months. Would suggest this tour with the Conservation center for animals.

Allison provided us with lots of info about the amazing Turnagain Arm phenomenon. It was all new to us. She also showed us and told us much about the vegetation in the area and how they live off the land. Also saw a moose along the stream. She made it an excellent excursion!
