Grant and Ben our guides were awesome. Super personable and funny made you feel right at home and were easy to talk to. The entire trip was awesome we got to go inside an ice cave something not many people are able to do. I definitely think if you’re going to be in Juneau this is a must!

Super fun time. Our guides Abby and Spencer were great and we were able to see some super cool ice structures. Being on the canoe together and working with the other folks to paddle out to the glacier creates a real sense of adventure and camaraderie not found in a lot of other tours. Highly recommended.

Paddling the canoe as a team is one of my favorite parts! The adventure of paddling 2.5 miles across a glacier-fed lake surrounded by mountains is quite the experience! So happy you had fun. Thank you.
