Great guides, kept us safe, great equipment. Lunch was delicious! Kust lovely! Train ride was beautiful - bring your camera! Recommend to make sure you tell conductor you’re getting off early if you’re eating breakfast on train.

Loved this experience! The team was great and the glacier was incredible. The one drawback is that they don't have any solo kayaks for participants, so they made people pair up. My partner was great, but I could see where it might not be. So, a caution for individuals or odd-numbered parties.
