Had an amazing time. Tim was great and knew all the right spots to stop to see wildlife and get great views. Excellent way to spend a day exploring outside Anchorage. And so easy to book, simple pickup, everything taken care of. Had a great, stress free day. Thank you so much!

Gorgeous views and good company. Brought us through the nature reserve to see a huge variety of animals, saw glaciers and turquoise waters, and stopped at a nice brewery for lunch. Would go again if I ever came back with a new group.

Tim is knowledgeable about Alaska and the sites visited. He is friendly and entertaining. It was a joy spending the day with him and touring the sites and seeing the animals at the Conservation Center. I recommend the tour if you’re looking for a day-tour that does not include hiking.

We had a wonderful time on our tour. Tim did an amazing job at keeping us entertained with fun facts about Alaska, etc. The others on this tour were super friendly too! Good group! The scenic drive and stops were incredible. Unfortunately, it rained for a period of our tour but that didn't stop us from having fun. I would strongly recommend caribou tours if you're looking to have an experienced driver shuttle you you around while you sit back and take in the sights! And the price is reasonable too!

Tim was knowledgeable and amusing with his commentary. It was raining and even a little light snow for a brief time so that made some viewing a bit difficult but it was still a very enjoyable day. There was good interaction with the group and the sandwiches for lunch were really good too. We would certainly recommend this tour.
