We left from Knik River Lodge with Stephen as our pilot. An amazing experience! Stephen was very knowledgeable and after landing took us to several spots on the glacier to see different aspects of the glacier. It was truly awesome! We climbed all over with the ice cleats they provided. Trust your cleats! Easier said than done.

It was the best thing I have done during my last 18 months in AK. The views are spectacular and even overwhelming. We went up with Steven and he was a great guide: never felt rushed, gave us the options of how we wanted the tour to go, was informative but conversational. Would recommend it to everyone.

I was given this tour as a birthday present, and it is most likely the best gift I ever got. The ride is simple amazing and the glacier landing is even better. The pilot was great and even though we were slightly delayed it still was the highlight of my time in Alaska. Would do this again in a heartbeat
