Steve and Jack are an awesome team. They both provided not only great bear viewing, but also a wealth of knowledge about the polar bears and the Inupiat people. While we should have followed the packing guide provided by Steve, we did not...no worries Steve and Jack have you covered with Parkas, ski pants and even boots My husband and I got the most wonderful photos of polar bears. The boat is comfortable and quiet, not intrusive to the bears at all. Steve is a photographer, himself and he really knows how to help set up a good shot of the polar bears. Thanks Jack and Steve.

I love adventure and this trip fit the bill perfectly. Don’t expect luxury. But who cares?? You are in the Arctic and will have a chance to be up close to what life is like in a village on the northern coast of Alaska. Akook Arctic Adventures was very helpful in arranging our stay at the Waldo Arms and preparing us for the adventure. It was amazing. Approach it as an adventure and enjoy the beauty and majesty of the polar bears, enjoy the glimpse of village life, the warmth and friendliness of the Waldo Arms, marvel at the airport (sarcasm font),
embrace the frigid arctic air and just breath in the experience that few of your fellow travelers will ever get to experience. Steve, Sunny and Jack are all terrific and will ensure that you are well cared for (they will outfit you with warm boots and coats). Buy trip insurance (weather can change quickly) and book two tours to ensure you get to see the bears.

My wife and I, along with 6 friends, recently had a extremely impressive polar bear tour with the Akook Arctic Adventures. We highly appreciate their professionalism, responsive assistance and informative guidance. Sunny is very helpful in the early planning stage and her ability and willingness of coordinating with the logistics made my life much easier. Steve as a wildlife photographer, and Jack, with his living experience at the Arctic wildlife, lend us their insight into the polar bear and taught us how to respect them. I strongly recommend their services.

We have been at Kaktovik in the middle of September for 3 nights. We booked tours with Sunny olmost a year before arrivle, and she was very kind and helpful. She helped us to organize the hotel (Waldo Arm Hotel) and flights beside the tours. We didn't book any tours for our arrivle day because we knew that flights may delay or cancelled due to bad whether. Luckily we had good whether for all days- even snow!

Steve and Jack are a great team, with teir open and small baut we had 360° of viewing and we get very close to the bears without interrupt them. Steve as a wildlife photographer, and Jack,with his living experience in the Arctic wildlife know where to find the polar bears and how to get the best shots of them.

The tours were amaizing, not only because the bears, Steve and Jack knew to tell a lot about the bears and the arctic life.

If you worried about the cold on the open boat, you have no resone- Steve will give you a suitable gear!

We are recommended you to go on this one in a lifetime adventure with Akook Arctic Adventures!
