What an amazing tour and Kelli was a fantastic guide!
We had the most brilliant tour, we saw so many different animals and lots of Moose. Kelli was a brilliant guide, we learnt SO much about the local habitat and wildlife. 100% worth booking.

Moose jam on road.
It was terrific for viewing of deer, elk, and moose this time of year. Kelli used her wildlife photography skills to pick out various animals in wild. We wanted to see a bull moose and we saw three. Ten moose in total last night.
