Fantastic Tour!!! Ryan and Joey were very informative and helpful and overall great guides. The canoeing wasn't too bad, and well worth the paddling once you reach the glacier. The glacier itself was amazing to see and experience! We all had a wonderful time and would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience a high quality well run excursion.

It is so amazing to walk on glacier ice! Ryan and Joey are such a great team, extremely informative and filled with a bunch of random fun facts. We are so happy you enjoyed it. Thank you.

We lucked out on the weather! 70 degrees. Sunny. We were able to see all of our beautiful surroundings on the lake. Ranger Ryan and Glacier Grant 🙃 were our tour guides. They were informative, fun, and made sure everyone stayed safe. We could not have asked for a better encounter paddling on the water and viewing the incredible glacier. Two people in our group of 6 were quite nervous about this excursion. Ryan and Grant provided a calming presence. And, with their knowledge, a positive experience!!

Super lucky on weather! Juneau is located in the worlds largest temperate rainforest so it is often raining. If it does rain, we provide everything you need to stay dry: rain pants, rain jacket, rain boots along with paddling gloves and a 35 liter dry bag. We are so happy Ranger Ryan and Glacier Grant made your group feel safe and comfortable. Thank you!

the tour was great. 1 hour canoeing to the glacier and 44 mins back because we would like to check Juneau other attractions. The company provided us everything including a cup of hoc choc which tasted great after a tiring and cold day. Unfortunately we couldn't spot any ice cave. Not their fault, tho.
