Called last minute for a sight seeing tour and Nicole went above and beyond calling in a pilot as well as adding an opening so that we could go. If I could give 10 stars I would, thanks again!!!

Rust's day trip to Lake Clark National Park for bear viewing is amazing. You get lots of time (4-5 hours) for bear viewing from the safety of the pontoon boat and we saw 31 bears! (this is not necessarily typical to see that many). it was a beautiful fall day though very rainy in Anchorage and cloudy on the way over and somewhat cloudy at Crescent Lake but it didn't matter at all. If you're on the fence about taking this tour take it from the perspective of a tour guide that this tour is amazing (I'm a harsh critic of tours). Our pilot Mike and guide at the lodge Holly were both amazing - super knowledgeable and did an amazing job.

We did the 3 hour tour from Lake Hood to Prince William Sound. If i could give it 10 stars i would have. Everyone was great from the check in to the end. Our Pilot/Guide Dan was incredible. He knew almost everything about the area. We caught some great weather also. From take off and being able to see Denali from 100 miles away to flying through the mountains and over glaciers , to the water landing half way through. Dan even flew us over the resort we were staying at. I cant recommend this tour and company enough!

We highly recommend Rust's!! Everyone was friendly, it was a smooth process, and the flight was spectacular. Our pilot was very safe and attentive to the passengers. He worked hard to make sure we could see what we wanted to see. The views were beyond scenic.

While our float plane trip to Prince William was canceled due to inclement weather, Chase in the office was able to arrange a last minute change in our itinerary and have our pilot Mike fly us to Denali for their glacier tour. A truly wonderful experience

My bear viewing trip with Rust Flying Services was excellent. From the time of pick up at the hotel to the drop off, service was excellent, from drivers, admin and our pilot and guides. Joe is not only an experienced pilot and knowledgeable of the area but made sure to show us a great time. The experience I had is incredible and I'll never forget this trip of a lifetime. Our bear guide was equally knowledgeable of the lake and the wildlife that lives in the area. She found us 24 bears in total with 4 sets of mama bears and cubs. We also saw a bald eagle and a pair of trumpet swans. Sockeye salmon lunch was well prepared and delicious. Everything was just perfect and I would gladly recommend Rust Flying Services and Rebout Mountain Lodge. Great job guys.

We went on the Glacier and Wildlife tour. I was very apprehensive about flying around mountains in a small plane but there was nothing to worry about. We were in a group of 10 people so it wasn't a tiny plane. The pilot was amazing. He was very skilled so the ride was smooth and enjoyable. He was extremely knowledgeable of Alaska and everything we saw. I had so many questions and he was patient and gave educated explanations and descriptions of the mountains, animals, geologic history of the glaciers as well as history of the area. Since it was late September the colors were spectacular.
I highly recommend Rust's. From the booking until we landed everyone was so professional. One day I hope we can go on another tour.

We flew on the 3.September with Quinn to Lake Crescent to see the bears and it was absolutely amazing!! We two from Germany and Bernie from Austria. Quinn treated us to a most fabulous journey and I’m only sorry that we didnt get to say goodbye (hope you still got our envelope Quinn). Katie, our driver on the Lake was also fantastic, full of lots of info in a bright and cheerful manner. Lunch and the whole team did an amazing job. And….btw… we saw lots of bears. ???

I had a great time taking a tour with Rust’s! I’m a private pilot and the tour guide allowed for me to take a few pics in the captains seat after the flight. Great guide and experience!

We had a great flight to see the glaciers outside Anchorage. Well worth the cost. This is a well run operation. This is the way to see Alaska and Rust's is the way to go.

Rust’s is exceptional!!! The staff is incredibly kind and truly helpful. The flight was smooth and the pilots were profoundly knowledgeable and able to answer our questions. This company is the most detailed and organized company you will find. I am remarkably impressed.

This is My third time doing a fishing trip to mcleod through rusts and the third time i have received a guide who only has a couple months of experience on the river. Guide didnt know the spots that well did not have the right tackle for pinks that were running. Other guides had a ton of success fishing in the river. Our guide basically gave up on the salmon and took us northern pike fishing instead. I have been on 20+ guided trips and tried to get him to go to some spots I know have a lot of success and he insisted not to go there. I don't think he knew how to use the front anchor well. Anyways I wasted $1700 on 2 silver salmon and my son had his worse guided trip ever. Until I get a gurantee on a experienced guide I will not book with them again.
