River Fishing and Bear Watching

Przegląd

This tour is designed for cruise ship passengers who are looking for an Alaskan excursion that is off the beaten path. We’ll depart Icy Strait Point and drive through the Alaska Native Tlingit village of Hoonah before merging onto old logging roads that will take us to a remote river. During the car ride and along the river it is common to spot wildlife- the island has more brown bears per square mile than almost anywhere else on the planet.

Natalie took us bear watching on both private and public lands. The tour included a river crossing (wearing waders provided by Natalie) and hiking along river banks. The first bear we saw was about 20 feet away while riding in the back of Natalie’s great truck! It was AMAZING. The second bear sighting was along the river bank. Natalie told us if we would wait just a few minutes, the bears would come out in search of food. Sure enough about 10 minutes later, there was a bear! The third bear was in a shallow river bed and was huge!! We also saw eagles during our tour. Natalie was informative and a great and helpful tour guide. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend NatVenture.

The highlight of our weeklong cruise to Alaska was our bear watching excursion with Natalie!! She is a wonderful guide and gave us a very personalized tour. It was also great that she took us to remote areas most cruise passengers never see and that she knows all about the local plants and animals. It was a GREAT DAY!!! … even BEFORE we saw a bear at the very end of our time with her. We have already told many people about our great time with you and hope they get to meet you soon. Thank you again Natalie!!!

Natalie, our guide, was really friendly great to work with. Within an hour of booking the trip, she was reaching out, to find out what we were looking for, and making sure we knew what to expect. We told her we're not regular anglers, and were really interested in seeing the wildlife, and trying something new. We were really hoping to see some bears. We were picked up outside Icy Strait point and drove about an hour to the fishing spot. We made a small trek to a spot with some nice views, and hopefully some bears. While we didn't see a bear we did see a seal there. Back at the fishing location, we donned the waders Natalie provided, and made our way to the lake. She taught the less experienced ones how to use the gear, got them setup and used to it while on shore, then had everyone get in the water. The kids were able to hook a couple of fish, which excited them. I had never fly fished before, so she showed me how, and I gave it a shot for a little while. Her patience was greatly appreciated, and I'm sure we provided her a few laughs. On the way back to Icy Strait Point, we saw some black tail deer. If I had to give a downvote for anything it would be the amount of time driving to and from the fishing location. With that said, even though we didn't see any bears (the group before ours did), which is out of her control, it was still a fun experience. The business is 100% owned and operated by Natalie, and she is obviously working hard to do a good job. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a different, more personalized experience.

Thank you very much for the feedback. We are so happy to know that you enjoyed your experience and would recommend it to others. We regret that you were not able to see a bear like the morning tour did, but are glad you were able to see a seal, sitka blacktail deer, and catch a couple species of fish. We appreciate your feedback on the drive times as well, and we will take note about communicating that better in the future. As your trip took place in shoulder fishing season (April), we had to drive to a fishing location a bit further away than our usual May-Sept fishing location (which is ~25-30 mins away). Sometimes the fish are at our usual (closer) spot in April, but unfortunately this year they were not quite moved in yet, so we elected for the longer drive to have better fishing. We stayed out a little extra time, so we hope that helped make up for the extra time in the car. Best regards, Natalie
