"My fiancé and I splurged and decided to do the bear viewing and fishing for our last full day in Alaska (our first time here). It was incredible! Alaska West Air was recommended by a friend who used them less than a week before so we reached out last minute and thankfully spots were available. Flip was our guide and his passion for what he does along with making sure his passengers have a good experience is everything you could want. He was amazing! Highly recommend him as your guide! We saw so many bears and caught our limit of fish quickly. We lucked out with great weather. On the way back I guess you usually fly over the glacier but the weather going out was starting to get bad so we skipped that. Bummer but also happy that they value our safety over anything else. This was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend using Alaska West Air"
"This was definitely the best experience for me in Alaska. Alaska west air took us to Lake Charles Ntl Pk and provided with all the necessary equipment for a great day of fishing"
"2nd smallest plane I have been in, and the only floatplane. Pretty much as smooth of a flight as you could ask for. The view was amazing everywhere we flew."
"Well run business. Enjoyed our flight to and from our fishing lake. Got to sit next to the pilot on the way there and had a nice conversation with him. The scenic flight back was very fun."
"Josh was a great guide.Got the limit on fish in record time and saw so many bear and other wildlife up close. Highly recommend this trip."
"I had the pleasure of flying with Alaska West Air via a fly-in fishing package with Jimmie Jack’s Fishing and this trip was truly exceptional. Duncan was our pilot and he made flying the DHC-2 Beaver look like a walk in the park. The scenery was phenomenal and it was a nice comfortable flight across the Inlet to the fishing spot. Everyone at the lodge who did the fly-in was also talking about what an incredible experience it was. I’d recommend this trip to anyone, any day."
