This is seriously one of THE coolest things I’ve ever done! Our guides- Ben and KC were phenomenal and provided us a super experience and lots of confidence building and knowledge. The gear they provided was first class and made us feel very safe. It was awesome that we were the FIRST and only people on the glacier and the other tours were just heading out as we were finished! I can’t say enough about our guides - their knowledge, expertise and humor made our trip! I would recommend this adventure to anyone planning a visit to the glacier. Note—it was strenuous and you would need to be able to paddle and hike but well worth the effort. Thanks for a trip of a lifetime.

This was bar far the highlight of our cruise. Ben and Grant made us feel very safe and prepared for the adventure. I’ve never canoed nor walked on a glacier and I DiD It! They were educated about the ice and our surroundings. I would say go for it folk. You’ll never forget it. Thanks to Ben and Grant.

Worth it for such a beautiful experience. Our guides Ryan and Ben were pleasant, informative, patient, and Extremely professional. I was there with my husband and son. Myself and my 23 year old son are far from being in shape. We still enjoyed the breathtaking beauty of the canoe journey. It’s team work, so it made it ok to stop a bit when I had to. My son with a medical condition practically could not row at all, and the guides were so reassuring. Thank you for that. We were lucky enough to get to go in a cave! I was so happy. Not deep into the cave, but just enough to say WOW. I felt very safe with our guides. Just go for it. Yes, it’s expensive, but every excursion in Alaska was!
