My husband and I have been on many trips with Mel and every single one was amazing. The boat ride across Cook Inlet is exciting enough on its own. We even saw orcas on the way over this past trip!

We had such a great day seeing the bears with Captain Mel and his daughter. They were efficient and he was super knowledgeable about the bears, where to find them etc. We got to see a mamma with two cubs, a male grizzly grazing in a big field and got some close up action to other on the way back to the boat. It was an experience of a lifetime and one we will never forget. Glad we chose the right captain to take us! Day was awesome. Weather and ocean was perfect. Couldn't ask for much more;

Mel was an awesome guide and we really had a great experience. Very knowledgeable. We never felt nervous and saw plenty of bears. Spent way longer with the bears than any other bear viewing company. Obviously it's wildlife in the wild so nothing is guaranteed but if you're looking for bear viewing I think I would stop here and just book Mel.

Captain Mel gave us a wonderful bear viewing trip to Lake Clark National Park. We saw a courting pair of brown bears, a mom & 2 yearlings and a bear clamming at the beach. What a special day! Thank you, Captain Mel!
