Just incredible, exceeded our expectations. I'm sure I won't spell our guide's name correctly, Daleyn? But he was honestly the best guide you could hope for. Multi-generation, Alaskan native and full of useful and interesting information that added to the experience. By far, our favorite day on our trip. We learned so much. He clearly loves Alaska and made this experience unique and special. He took us deep into the woods to an absolutely breathtaking, secluded spot to fish. Especially with two young children, ages 10 and 12, we all were easily able to catch ample fish and set them free. On they way out, with a little time left, he even tried to help us spot some bears (unfortunately, not a success) but we had fun looking. I'd highly recommend this tour and especially our guide.

We had a great morning with Levi on our recent fishing excursion. He picked us up and we drove about an hour into the wilderness to find the perfect bank fishing spot. Serene and beautiful. Our crew caught a lot of salmon, including my 70 year old mother. Levi shared a lot about the island, knows a ton about the wildlife, and was just a plain nice guy to share our day with. The van ride was a little bumpy, so if you do get car sick plan accordingly. : Would recommend to anyone who wants an easy fishing excursion and for all ages. Thanks again for a wonderful experience!

We had a wonderful time fishing. Beautiful scenery. Our guide was great, friendly and knowledgeable and as a bonus we got a chance to see a bear catching fish! We came home with a handful of great pictures and wonderful memories. Thanks!

an amazing fishing trip with my guide Daylon. I caught many salmon in a beautiful isolated location. we even had a bear encounter that my guide handled in the most professional manner. thankfully the bear picked surf and not turf. I will always treasure this experience in the Alaska wild!!!!
