Wonderful small-group photography tour. Tour (Bears & Whales) aboard MV Discovery was first-rate in every way. Ron's local knowledge let us maximize our photographic opportunities and enjoy the vast natural beauty of SE Alaska. I can't imagine traveling to Alaska with anyone else.

We have been on 9 tours with Ron. They have all be wonderful. When you put things into Ron and Janine's hands the trip or trips will be a total success. The only thing they seem to not be able to control is the weather. But we suspect they are working on it. So go on one of their trips and prepare to enjoy.

Ron is a wonderful host. We got close enough to the bears to almost touch them. Rod and the bear guide Dave were exceptional hosts and guides. Seeing the bears with Ron is a treat and I'd recommend him highly.
