点评:The website is inaccurate. It states that you will "You and your guide will spend literally hours roaming beaches, meadows, and streambanks finding and watching these incredible animals." This is not true, your will only stay in a viewing area that could be 400-1600meters from the bears. When I contacted the Owner Bill, he contradicted what the pilot told us about the bears staying 400-1600m away at High tide. This was $2,200 with tip and a complete bust. Even with a new DLSR camera and 600mm lens the photos are not worth printing. If the company would have told us prior to the flight that the bears will be far away due to the high tide we would have not flown out and use the $2200 to go to Brooks Falls. The owner Bill, answered e-mail and put in crazy things like "Finally, trekking out onto the mudflats harasses the bears. We dont do it. That strategy will destroy this resource. Surrounding a bear with 18 people is an awful outcome. You might get your picture but you stress the animals." All of this is just not true or what we expected or what Bill advertises on his website and shows photos. Lastly, after I received Bill the owners response, I cannot send him a reply, it seems he blocked me. Frankly this is how he started his e-mail "Chris:
Thanks for writing with your feedback. Some of your feedback is helpful other comments respectfully, miss the mark." In Summary, miss advertising and a waste of $2,200 with the tip we gave the pilot. We could have walked up to the stream and got a great view of the bears on the other side, like the description and photos on the website. The pilot said we could not leave the viewing area. He also was tracking the tide and told us that the bears will not come over the stream. It would have been great to know prior to the flight.
翻译:该网站不准确。它说“你和你的导游将花费数小时漫步在海滩、草地和河岸上,寻找和观看这些令人难以置信的动物。”这不是真的,你只能停留在距离熊 400-1600 米的观景区。当我联系业主比尔时,他反驳了飞行员告诉我们的熊在涨潮时会远离 400-1600 米的说法。这是 2,200 美元加上小费,完全是一无所获。即使有一台新的 DLSR 相机和 600 毫米镜头,这些照片也不值得打印。如果公司在飞行前告诉我们熊会因为涨潮而远离我们,我们就不会飞出去,用 2200 美元去布鲁克斯瀑布。老板比尔回复了电子邮件,并说了一些疯狂的话,比如“最后,徒步前往泥滩会骚扰熊。我们不会这样做。这种策略会破坏这种资源。让 18 个人围住一只熊是一个可怕的结果。你可能会拍到照片,但你会让动物感到压力。”所有这些都不是事实,也不是我们所期望的,也不是比尔在他的网站上宣传和展示的照片。最后,在我收到老板比尔的回复后,我无法回复他,似乎他屏蔽了我。坦率地说,他是这样开始他的电子邮件的“克里斯:
感谢您写信提供反馈。您的一些反馈很有帮助,其他评论恕我直言,没有切中要害。”总之,没有达到宣传的效果,而且我们给飞行员的 2,200 美元小费也浪费了。我们本可以走到小溪边,欣赏对岸熊的美景,就像网站上的描述和照片一样。飞行员说我们不能离开观景区。他还跟踪了潮汐情况,并告诉我们熊不会越过小溪。如果在飞行前知道这一点就好了。
