Excellent trip. Seth and Holly were great guides. Very knowledgeable. Excellent communication. Highly recommended.

Having never been anywhere this remote before, the outposts proved interesting. Getting to St. Paul Island is an adventure in itself and there were some wonderful birds there, especially at the seabird colony. Nome also proved to be an interesting place with great new birds and other wildlife. Although we hit a snag that kept us on St. Paul Island longer than expected, the group made it a fun delay. St. Paul Island was cold but we were warned of that well in advance and were well prepared. The accommodations in Nome were great, very good in Anchorage and fine on St. Paul Island. The food in general was good but could have been better on St. Paul Island - a limitation of being extremely remote I imagine. The guides were excellent - George and Alvaro are not only great birders but the nicest guys too.

A true adventure into a little-known environment. An eye-opening and enriching experience. Hillstar was organized, accommodating, responsive, took care of all arrangements and details with the participants' interest at the foremost. Guides were extremely knowledgeable and well acquainted with the area..

The Seabird Cliffs at St Paul are a sight to behold and the island itself is a birding mecca. While our time in Nome was limited it was an amazing visit there. Additionally, I had an amazing visit to the Anchorage area besides birding St Paul and Nome as planned and that is because George and Alvaro worked diligently to maximize the birding opportunities the group had in all three of those areas. They are knowledgeable birders and teachers who are fun to be on a birding tour. It turned out to be a great trip if not exactly according to script.

The trip to Utiquiagvik was wonderful and fulfilled all of my expectation. The birding was as good as we could have hoped for with some wonderful, surprises, and amazing displaying nesting shorebirds. The eider show was great and getting out to the Point Barrow to see the Polar Bears was thrilling. George and Alvaro kept us moving and tracked down as many of the rarities as we could track down in our time there and it was the highlight of my time in Alaska with them.
