Our guides Spencer and Abby were awesome! They were friendly, funny, and knew so much. Everything was provided from gear to snacks We had enough time to take tons of pictures and even saw inside of a glacier cave! Would highly recommend.

Spencer and Joey were awesome to tour with. They were very passionate about the trip. They picked us up when and where they said thy would. Everyone's safety was their top priority, we all felt comfortable on the glacier with them. I really can' say enough good things about this little tour company. Don't just do what the cruise line offers, go with these guys for a very personal experience! My nearly 80 year old parents joined me and had a great time as well.

We are so thankful to be apart of an Alaskan memory with your parents. Spencer and Joey are fantastic. Come back and do it again... and again... the glacier is always changing so every tour is different! Thank you.

This is a once in lifetime tour that you cannot miss. Liquid tours is a small company which makes it better. We had six people in our group while others had up to forty. Needless to say we had the glacier to ourselves. The canoe trip out to the glacier was fabulous and need to be in somewhat type of good shape. I work our four to five times a week but the rowing hits some muscles you might not of used before. The hike to the glacier is not long but it is hilly and uneven My wife has balance problems from brain surgery twenty years ago and she made it. When we going down to the ice cave she was scared due to the steep decline but the guides Joey and Spencer made sure she made it down to the cave and back. Shout out to Grant too he help with photos and and the miscellanies of the trip.
