  • “We went up with Wes on a “Glacier Tour. Fantastic is an understatement.”

    He shared his knowledge of the area in humorous manner that was enjoyable and informative. We had a blast. We had so much fun on the Glacier Tour that we went out the next day on a trip to Lake Clark National Park and visited the Redoubt Mountain Lodge for a Bear Viewing Tour. The staff at the Lodge prepared us the best Sockeye Salmon for lunch I have ever tasted! That was followed by an afternoon on a pontoon boat viewing bears and some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet. The staff at Redoubt was 5 star. We have traveled all over the world and I can honestly say this was one of, if not the best travel experience we have ever had. Wes and Angela were warm, attentive, and a pleasure to get to know. You can’t go wrong adding this to your things to do list when visiting the Homer area. We will be back!

  • “Best day ever!”

    We went to Hallo Bay in Katmai National Park with Beluga Air. Kelsey booked us in, Wes was our pilot and Dave was our bear guide. It was the most amazing day of our lives! Wes was super informative during the flight and it was the smoothest landing I have ever experienced. Dave got us close to so many brown bears in their natural habitat, and we even saw a wolf. Absolutely brilliant. Strongly recommend Beluga Air and Dave for a Katmai bear experience.

  • “If I could give Beluga Air and Wes a 1000/5 stars, I would”.

    “We spent 6 months in Alaska and this was truly the highlight of our time. When our original Brooks Falls trip was cancelled due to weather over in Katmai, Wes gave us flying lessons which were so much fun! The team was extremely compassionate and helpful in helping us find something that worked for us. We decided to do the backcountry bear hike with the tour guide instead, and wow!!!!! Being up close and personal with about 40 bears was the most surreal and exciting experience we have ever had. Wes was the perfect balance of fun and informative. Overall we had the best day and would do it again in a heartbeat. If you can carve a day out to spend with Wes and the team- we very highly recommend it! It would be our #1 Alaska recommendation. And make sure to stop and pet Kenai in the office too!”
