It’s a great experience with an owner operator (Tim) who knows the area as a native and is familiar with places and people. Nicely done and visited spots never would’ve known to stop by.

Tim was an amazing tour provider and guide. It wasn’t the best weather day but we loved it nonetheless. My husband and I and 10 yr old grandson were lucky enough to be the only ones in the group that day, and that was fun. Tim knows his information about the area and Alaska! He arrived ahead of the pick up time and was ready for us. Thank you caribou tours.

Tim was a gracious host and showed us some cool stuff, including turning back and stopping to allow us to see a moose with two calves. Girdwood brewing was a neat place for lunch with quality beers. Overall a worthwhile trip to see the highlights of turning arm.
