Worth every single penny and more! It was a wonderful day that included a train ride to the wildlife conservation center, a hike in Grandview, then back on the train to Spencer Glacier where we kayaked in Spencer lake around icebergs. Sadie was our tour guide for the day! She was amazing! She met us during lunch (provided) after the conservation center. She gave us directions on what we were to expect so we were prepared. She then met us at the Spencer Whistle Stop for our kayak tour. Sadie was very informative. She gave us a very informative tutorial on glacier, iceberg and just general kayaking safety. We then floated off with her as our guide. I learned so much about glaciers that day. She offered to take pictures of us which was appreciated. We stopped at a small beach off to the side of the glacier and hiked up a bit. Couldn’t go to far because we were short on time. We sat and had some cocoa with beautiful views of the glacier and the lake. It was a great trip! Ask for Sadie!

Did an all day trip - starting with a helicopter ride to the glacier and ending with a relaxing raft ride. Erin our guide was fabulous. The hike down via 58 switchbacks was arduous but filled with awesome views of the glacier and the lake below.
