Golden Eagle Outfitters Inc - Delta Junction, AK

There is no better flight operator in the Alaska arctic! They are professional, courteous, and the pilots are aces! They take such good care of their guests, and their fleet is top notch. I'd fly with them any day, of any year, to any location. I can't say enough good things. We did have weather issues, but that is not something to blame on the flight operator, we appreciated their attention to safety when considering flights and weather conditions. When flying in the arctic it is always a good idea to get trip insurance, that way when the weather does take a turn, you know you've got your a** covered! Thanks Golden Eagle - you guys are the BEST!

We took a trip with them June 30th to Gates of the Arctic and Kobuk Valley national park. Our pilot was very knowledgable and made us feel very safe! We would definitely recommend booking through them if you're in Kotzebue and looking to go on any sort of flightseeing tour!

We had a great experience flying with Golden Eagle Outfitters and our pilot Jesse. Our trip to Kobuk Valley and Gates of the Arctic met all of our expectations. Jesse reached out to us the day before to let us know a time and place to meet for our trip. He included a pickup in Fairbanks so we didn’t have to make the drive to Delta Junction. We landed in both parks for pictures, but the highlight of the trip was flying through the mountains of Gates of the Arctic. The views were incredible! We absolutely loved our trip and recommend flying with these guys!

We used them for a caribou hunt and had a great experience. We felt safe flying with them despite the windy and rainy conditions. Jesse is an incredible pilot. Jared is also an incredible pilot but not the most social individual. I'd give them five stars but their was some frustration and unnecessary added stress due to Jared's poor, brief, responses to questions and simple email responses. I get it, he is a pilot and not a receptionist but having a receptionist sure would make a lot of us customers happier and better prepared.
All in all, great trip and we will use them again!

My family booked a trip of a lifetime and the trip was cancelled due to a government shutdown. When a refund was requested, they refused. $5000 is a lot of money and this business owner, as I can see from other reviews has down the same thing to others. How can you justify keeping peoples hard earned money and providing nothing? Please let others know as we are trying to save others from losing such a large amount of money. I pray that this owner would have done the right thing. Just awful!

Golden Eagle Outfitters is a top-notch operation. I am a professional climber and I rely on their service several times a year to pursue my goals in the mountains. We fly with pilot Jesse, he is a kind, confident, and knowledgeable pilot. Not only does he handle the heck out of his aircraft but he knows a lot about the land and wildlife. Given the remote nature of the land, you want a pilot of his nature. Anything less and you’re in for potential trouble. I trust this service with my life regularly as we fly into extremely serious mountain terrain for climbing expeditions. Jesse always handles this with swift, timely, and confidence-inspiring flying.

In fact, my climbing partner and I trust Jesse so much that we often say to eachother or others, “if he’s flying, I’m riding!!!!”

BUYER BEWARE. Had a trip planned with Jared and his team over a year in advance as required. After a government shutdown of the hunting area an inability to provide the hunt Golden Eagle then refused to return any of the deposit with zero services rendered. Extremely disrespectful customer services throughout the entire conversation.

We scheduled a hunt through Golden Eagle Outfitters that has been deemed not possible due to Government actions of preventing hunting in those areas at that time.

When a refund was requested they have refused to provide the refund with the statement along the lines of "its outside of our control, you should have purchased travel insurance"
