It was the first day of our trip to Alaska and we thought this tour would make a great start. We were not wrong! We left Anchorage with another couple and our pilot, Jordan. En route to Lake Clark National Park we spotted a pod of beluga whales from the air and a moose swimming across a lake. After we landed on the shoreline beach we walked a short distance before seeing 3 adult coastal brown bears just going about their business maybe 20 yards away or less. While watching the bears a bald eagle landed on top of a small tree right next to us - about 6 feet away! Not satisfied with that Jordan then took us back up to land again where a mother bear and her 2 cubs were walking. Again not too far away but being careful not to upset the mother. We watched them for quite a long time. We went to another area and saw more eagles feeding. Then it was back to base. It was a wonderful experience and turned out to be the best day of our trip. We would call it a must do in Anchorage. Booking direct worked well.

My husband and I throughly enjoyed our trip to Lake Clark. The flight alone kept you glued to the window, but then you see bears! There were so many bears out foraging and lounging in the meadows and along the beach, it was an amazing experience. Our pilot Abby was awesome and very personable, that made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

These people are as good as their word. They honor their cancellation policy without a hitch. My husband and I had to cancel our reservation due to a change in his work start date. I sent my cancellation request at 6:50 in the evening. By 8:35 the next morning, I had an email saying they had generated the refund. and my credit card was refunded that same day. Update: My husband's work date changed again, and we were able to make our trip after all! I listened to the gentle, almost imperceptible, stirring of the pool against its icy edge. We watched a stream become a rushing river that cut its path under the glacier. Standing in the mountain meadow, I realized that all of the times I'd wondered what it would be like to be "on that mountain" had at least one answer. I'm glad I took the pictures, not because they are better than the many that are already on the internet, but because when I see them I think, "I know I was really there, because I took that picture." The experience was incredible, our pilot was the perfect guide, and each staff person we encountered was friendly and professional. We are grateful and highly recommend.

Justin was a great pilot and guide. Kept us safe, but also got us some great views of the bears. If you want to go to Lake Clark National Park - would definitely recommend.

What a great day! The people made it great! Bill the owner, Daniel the pilot and Natalia on her day off all contributed to a very nice wildlife experience. We saw over 20 bears and beluga whales. Daniel was awesome throughout. So much more to say and exceeded our expectations! Professional and courteous! Thank you.

Our family enjoyed a unique and amazing experience with Alaska Air Service that will be part of our "family story" for years to come. Bill (owner) and Katie (pilot) took amazing care of us. Very professional with a clear focus on both safety and fun. Katie narrated the flight and we learned a lot, while getting to know Alaska (and her) better. Since this was such a high ticket purchase, we shopped around in advance - we're glad we did and we made the right choice.

Our pilot/guide, Justin for the bear-viewing Lake Clark tour was incredible. He was fun, skilled, and gave us a lot of autonomy in what our day looked like. The flight to Lake Clark was spectacular. Landing and taking off on the beach, watching bears, and lunch on the beach is a day I’ll treasure forever. Visited from Milwaukee, WI and would recommend this trio and company (and Justin!) to anyone that is interested.

Jordan was absolutely exceptional flying us to Nudlaghi near Lake Clark National Park! I had never been in a small aircraft before and was a bit nervous, and this experience far exceeded my expectations. I felt completely safe in the hands of experienced Alaskan pilots who were both attentive to weather conditions and deeply knowledgeable about the region. Jordan was friendly, professional, and made the flight even more memorable by pointing out belugas, seals, and notable landmarks along the way. The hangar staff were also incredibly helpful, making the logistics at both the start and end of our trip smooth. Having my car pulled up and keys ready when we landed felt like such a luxury! Thank you for an incredible experience- yeehaw! 🤠
