We had a great time on the rafting trip, you start by the glacier and work your way down river, through some light rapids. Our tour guide Schylar was fantastic! He made the trip a lot of fun and was a really excellent guide. He kept us entertained and safe. We saw some cool sights and several bald eagles along the way. The drivers and the all the guides were truly wonderful. You can tell there are some issues going on with the upper management as the overall organization wasn’t great. We ended up leaving about an hour late, which for us wasn’t a huge deal because we weren’t on a time crunch, but would have been terrible if our boat was leaving earlier. You could get the sense that the guides didn’t get the support from management that they need, but that didn’t impact the product they delivered to us. We highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide was very good his name was schulyer. He was excellent at handling the raft. However we were delayed because the buses were delayed almost 45 minutes and we were supposed to go on another tour that was supposed to depart an hour after we returned from our trip. Had to cancel the trip. Once at the start of the trip we were told to use the restroom and there were no sinks or hand sanitizer available? Also, you sat on a piece of plywood and were crowded together. My seat was behind the rower there was absolutely no room for my feet or to move. My back, hips buttocks were numb when I got off could barely walk. The bugs were pretty horrible the first 30 minutes and no one warned you about them. All of our personal items were stored in a box truck that was taken to our final destination. Once off the raft you had to walk up several flights of stairs or go all the way around to a sort of ramp to meet the bus. This was a fairly rough experience. The tour was from the Alaska tour Co. would not recommend.

This was truly a fun time with an amazing staff. The staff was very well organized and helpful. Being in our late 70s, we thought our rafting days were over. But Trent brought back the fun, adventures, and memories of past rafting trips. These were full class 3 rapids not some little ripples. Thank you for a great time.
