Brian was a great tour guide! The weather was foggy and they said we could cancel if we wanted. I'm so glad we didn't! Brian got us to places where there was great visibility and we got up close to a spectacular waterfall. Totally glad I booked with Alaska Shore Excursions!

BRILLIANT - well worth every penny. It was raining with cloud resting on the hills, but this made it magical. We couldn't find a bear though:( Have done several helicopter trips and this one offers better views all around only taking 4 people.
