Safety and quality of experience are our top priorities.
We do our best to create opportunities for viewing wildlife and “The Mountain” (Denali), but we cannot guarantee it because the weather and behavior of animals are out of our control. Guides will take guests to the best locations given the current weather conditions, light, and wildlife activity.

We charter TEMSCO helicopters to fly us into the backcountry. Your safety is their top priority. TEMSCO Helicopters has been flying in Alaska since 1958. For our photo tours, we fly in the MD500 helicopter, with seating for 3 passengers. TEMSCO Helicopters is a TOPS operator, which means they hold the highest safety standards, which exceed those of the FAA.
