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..
