This tour was great! I am so glad I went. “Aunt” Gary was our tour guide on the drive to the glacier and he was very knowledgeable about Alaska. I was engaged and interested the whole time. We also would stop whenever we saw wildlife. (We saw 4 moose!)
The glacier was so cool. Our guide on the ice was Alyssa and she was also great. She taught us a lot about glaciers and showed us around and helped take photos.
I really enjoyed this and would fully recommend!

It was an amazing experience from start to finish. Our pickup person Greg shared a lot of facts and insights about Alaska and about the tour. The hiking guide was pretty great and gave us supporting gear including crampons for walking on the glacier and ensured it was a safe journey. The surrounding views of the glacier were really amazing and worth the effort to see all the different areas of the glacier including ice caves and crevices.

We had a wonderful time on the glacier with our guide Chris! His knowledge of the glacier was amazing and we learned so much and just very much enjoyed the beauty of the glacier. Our driver Gary (Aunt Gary), was also fantastic! He was so knowledgeable about Alaska and provided so much information about the area as we drove up in a very entertaining delivery. My husband and I very much just enjoyed the entire day and are so glad we chose this as our excursion!

This was a unique experience to walk on ice. Be assured they take of you whether you are a beginner or a pro. Do collect the black mud for face pack and a crystal stone if you find. Petra was a very patient guide and made my birthday.

Walking up the slopes to view glacier and see ice formations. The surface you walk on has Swiss cheese holes where rocks have melted into ice. Several areas of blue ice. Not extremely difficult. Lots of help from guide for those who felt was a bit slippery. Bus ride out with ? Isa/ila??? was great. Friendly and informative
