The tour I booked from the cruise had gotten cancelled, so a bunch of us in the same predicament signed up last minute at the dock with Seawind Aviation, and what a stroke of luck that was! We took a comfy van to their office and arranged the group into two small aircraft. One person in our aircraft became very claustrophobic as soon as the door closed and insisted on being let out, which the pilot did very graciously with no issue at all. Once at the cove Drew our bear guide was fantastic, injecting fun in our group with antics like making us do a "bear dance", hokey but he put such a positive vibe on the tour we played along and had a great time and always felt safe. Even though he must see hundreds of tourists each season, he knew that for each of us this was likely our first time seeing the bears like this, in their element eating salmon, and he helped make the tour live up to our expectations and then some. We probably saw about 5 to 8 bears total. Highly recommended!!
