After 16 days, my wife and I were flying home late on a Saturday (Sunday) and she decided to book this. First of all, this is our fourth time in Alaska and I always wanted to take the train somewhere. This trip, which started in Anchorage,took us past Cook Inlet (a very nice ride), through the tunnel into Whittier and to Spencer Glacier. Then we got in a raft driven by Cody who did a great job. We floated around the Glacier with plenty of big icebergs all around. We even got close enough to touch them. Then we floated down the Placer River. A nice ride with a couple of nice little rapids. We weren't expecting Class one, two or three so it ended up big a relaxing ride. Then it was on the train and back to Anchorage. We started our trip with a great three day cruise in Prince William Sound and ended it with this nice little adventure.

We did the float trip and loved it!! We got the opportunity to touch an iceberg!! Our guide Jack was awesome!! He taught us so much during our trip!! It’s a beautiful float!! They even give you hot chocolate and cookies during it just at the right time that you need it to warm up!! Y’all be sure to take this tour!!

My family with young teens absolutely loved this trip. Everything was very well organized from the supplying of boots to wear on the raft to the incredibly clean and beautiful view during the train trip to Spencer Glacier. It is a must-see site to go right up to the icebergs in the water. Our guide, Kendall, was very good to us and got us safely down the river which only has minor rapids. Great information about the site and location along the way.
