If you're on the fence on whether or not you should go for this tour over the others, these reviews should get you to follow your gut and book it! For the TLDR, Matthew is a huge reason why this tour was worth it, he prides himself on being one of the few guides actually local to Alaska, and insanely knowledgeable, open to every single question with an in depth, enthusiastic answer. He also takes safety and timeliness with high priority. You might think it's overwhelming, but he's a down-to-earth guy and super easy to like, as he also shares his experience in what, where, and when to stop for sights.
Such a convenient way to see Turnagain Arm in a comfy modern shuttle (USB ports for charging, binoculars included) with a couple stops for Beluga Point, scoping the Dall Sheep, arriving at the cruise for Portage Glacier (dress appropriately, gets cold on the top deck!), and the short but beautiful trail in the rainforest. Short but educational stop at a salmon feeding grounds for bears, and finishing off with a good hour of viewing the fantastic wildlife conservation center, before driving the beautiful Turnagain Arm one more time.
Go with plenty of questions ready, dress appropriately for the season (layers!), and let Matthew take the hassle out of seeing the sights you came here for, it'll be a great time!
