Reviews & Reputation

Review Highlights

Guest sentiment is very positive, with both reviews giving five out of five stars. Reviewers describe Northern Wilderness Outfitters as dependable and say they would return. One guest who has used other outfitters called NWO "far superior" to them.

Guests praise the service and communication, and describe the people as friendly and caring. One reviewer names Vic and the staff as wonderful to work with. Guests call the cabins nice and the planes well maintained. Reviewers say the fly-in trips are consistently good and memorable. The outfitter also runs hunting trips.

Neither review includes complaints or recurring concerns. The outfitter suits repeat fly-in customers and anglers or hunters who have used other outfitters and value good communication, comfortable cabins, and reliable air service.
