Eric saved the day! We had a trip booked with another company and after in our waders and ready to hop on the plane they canceled. Our last day in Alaska and no bears to see. I checked a few places and left a message with Alaska Ultimate Safaris. The day was already getting late and he called us back and said he could take us. WOW!! It was wonderful! Eric was very professional, knowledgeable and an excellent tour guide. We went to Brooks Falls and saw at least 30 bears around the falls. We had the platform all to ourselves for most of the afternoon. It was as if we were in a National Geographic documentary. The scenery was beautiful. An amazing way to end our Alaska adventure! We will definitely use Alaska Ultimate Safaris again and recommend them to everyone. Thanks for a memorable experience!…

If you are looking for an amazing helicopter and glacier tour experience, go with Alaska Ultimate Safaris! The pilots, Kirsten and Eric are incredibly experienced, and safety is their top priority. We flew over several glacier fields, and even saw a black bear out in the middle of nowhere, crossing a glacier. We landed on a glacier and hiked around. It was amazing! Both pilots have studied glaciers with professionals, and are very knowledgeable. We also had a ton of fun, and were treated to a glass of champagne while on the glacier. On the flight back, Kirsten took us through this incredible canyon. We could see all sorts of bears below as we flew through the canyon. Seriously a flight of a lifetime, and we’ll worth the expense!!!…

Eric was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We had about an hour helicopter ride over some beautiful scenery. Since we flew around to see where the bears were and landed close by. There were many bears in the area. As time went on, they came closer and closer. We had a great experience with Alaska Ultimate Safaris, the best tour in Alaska.…

THE best thing about my helicopter bear tour adventure? I cannot narrow it down to just one thing. It was all amazing! From the gracious hosts/pilots of Eric and Kirsten, to getting the knowledge of these amazing creatures that Eric and Kirsten informed us about, to being within a safe distance of them in their natural habitat. I am definitely booking with them again!!…

Mind-blowing experience! One of the best safaris ever (and I've done many, including mountain gorillas and polar bears). Eric is a top drawer pilot and provides a very easy going, safe and erudite experience. Worth every penny!
