The tour was great, unfortunately we did not see bears but our guide was super nice and gave us loads of info. The trails they drove on were beautiful.
The driver was very friendly and professional On time Nice and strong car
We had an incredible time. The landscapes are incomparable, the forests incredible. We were not lucky enough to see bears, but even so, it is a tour that is worth taking. Our guide was great, very good conversation. We definitely recommend it. Thank you!
This tour was the highlight of our trip! Our guide, Raphael was excellent! It was exciting and fun and we got to see a few bears. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
Trip was nice in itself, but very uncomfortable, because there were three of us,. The car was also suitable for that. Unfortunately, a fourth stranger was crammed in, leaving you stuffed like sardines in the back seat.
We had a fantastic time despite the rain and managed to see and mother bear and cub which we followed for about 1 hour. Jacob was a very knowledgeable guide and was very enthusiastic about bears!
Could not rate this experience highly enough. A brilliant, experienced and knowledgable guide (Joel) picked us up at our hotel, bang on time. We went to a part of the forest closed to most vehicles and spent a few hours learning about the area whilst keeping an eye out for bears. And indeed we saw a bear (twice) and got some amazing photos and memories.
What a special experience! Mike was a great guide - really knowledgable, and very happy to answer our many questions about both bears and the area in general. We were fortunate to get a beautiful clear-skied evening, and rewarded with a fabulous close-up viewing of a young female black bear. The trip back through the Olympic village was also really interesting.
It would have been a cool experience even if we hadn’t seen bears. You’ll still probably see signs of bears and the Olympic ski jump is a memorable thing to see. Our guide was friendly and told us a lot about the bears. We did see some bears, who even chose to come quite close to the vehicle (just walked past).
We had a great evening. Our guide Byron was friendly and very informative. We saw 5 bears including a mother and cub. Everything was very well organised and we had a great time. Thoroughly recoomend
