We had an amazing day of adventure at Spencer Glacier Lake, thanks to Chugach Adventures. Our guide, Illiya Pekich, was a fabulous tour guide for us as he paddled our raft across the lake to the edge of the glacier, stopping along the way to take photos of people in the raft, and pointing out interesting facts about icebergs and the glacier. After rowing us back from the glacier to Chugach Adventures' base camp, he and Emily hosted an elegantly prepared fresh wild salmon dinner that was gourmet all the way--including white wine spritzer with fresh blueberries and strawberries, and chilled with iceberg ice from the lake. They treated our group like royalty, from beginning to end. Looking forward to my next adventure with Chugach Adventures!

We went up to the Spencer Glacier with Chugach Adventures. We did the Lake Tour as that definitely seems to be better than the River Tour. Our guide Matt was awesome and we got more than what we were promised and what we expected. We loved the train ride as well.

It was great to meet you & your family on the Glacier Train. Matt Raney is an amazing guide and great Alaskan. I am not sure if he told you but he is on the new Discovery Channel Show "Homestead Rescue" with his Father & Sister (Marty Raney & Misty Raney) which airs later this month. He is my brother in law and only cameo part-time guides for us, and so we are always super stoked when he joins us. We love getting up close to the glacier on our Spencer Glacier Lake tour as well. Our most popular tour is the Spencer Iceberg & Placer River Float. Again, Thank You for your review. -Ari Stiassny

My husband and I did a 7 day cruise from Vancouver to Seward Alaska including a couple excursions. We stayed in Alaska for a few more days and did other day trips. The Spencer Glacier float was by far the best! Cory and Scott were excellent tour guides and provided lots of information about the area and specifics about Spencer Glacier. The water was low in the river so we explored the lake and glacier instead of going downstream. We got the better end of that deal! Being up close to the glacier was amazing and the size of the icebergs were unbelievable. We just had one other couple in our raft so Cory made sure to personalize the trip based on our interests and questions. We would do this excursion again in a heartbeat!! Chugach Adventures did a fantastic job.
