Fulfill Your Bucket List

About Mr. Fun

Hello Travelers,

My name is Chez, AKA Mr. Fun! I’ve been assisting folks find fun and fulfill their “bucket List” since 2010. Whether it be watching bears feed on the migrating salmon or taking in the breathtaking views of our National Monument, the Misty Fjords. It could be landing that once-in-a-lifetime salmon or halibut or maybe a tranquil walk through our private Rainforest Sanctuary, where wildlife and native carved totem poles take your soul to another place.

If you’re looking for a meal that is above the ordinary or want to observe fishermen pulling up crab pots, long line, barrel fish for octopus and tell their incredible fish tales of their success and failures of Dutch Harbor, let “Mr. Fun” match you with the right destination to complete your vacation of a lifetime!

If you are like me,like me, I don’t mind paying a premium price for something, but you’d better give me my money’s worth or I’m going to be crabby. So whether it be tours, museums, dining or local pubs, let my 12 years of experience work for you!

You’ve waited all your life to come to Alaska. Let someone who has witnessed and experienced all the tours guide you through the malaise. Just listen…Alaska is Calling.

Misty Fjords Monument by Floatplane

This may be the “granddaddy” of them all! 20,000 years ago during the last ice age, ice and glaciers covered most of North America. As it warmed and the glaciers receded, its effect on the geography was dramatic! Carving and scraping and left what many call “the Grand Canyon of the north”, only filled with water known as Fjords. Our largest national monument (2.3 million acres}it’s a land that time has forgotten, these protected 3,000-foot granite cliffs that shoot almost straight up out of the Fjord waters. One of the most spectacular sites on the flight is Big Goat Lake. Named for its high population of native mountain goats that roam the area. Then there’s an 1800-foot waterfall that spills in all of its Alaskan splendor to the waiting Fjord below. Everyone gets a window seat and a pair of quality noise-canceling headphones. These protect your ears, and let you enjoy music and informative narration.
