Did you ever think that you could float up to a glacier on a Zodiak boat amongst calved ice and then run the glacial river in a place accessible only by train. Well you can!! Stunning, breathtaking, informative trip of a lifetime with Kyle who is an experienced guide with a wealth of knowledge shared with humor and depth. One of our most memorable vacation experiences. Thanks!

The rafting adventure and wildlife conservation center was so fun! One of the highlight days of our Alaskan Adventure. The guides came on the train and told us what we needed to do and when we got off the train in Portage our guide Kyle drove us to the Wildlife Conservation Center, for a personal tour. Then he took us to their lunch location where we caught the train again, then got on a school bus for the Spencer Glacier rafting. Our river guide Kendall was so sweet and fun! it was so beautiful and peaceful. After the float was over the train was right there to pick us up and take us to where the buses were for the hotels in Girdwood. I don't know how they had everything timed so perfectly but it is a really really great excursion for all ages!
