Absolutely an amazing trip. There were six of us aged 14 to 78 and Ben and Joey took great care of us. Never thought I would experience a glacier like that before. We were lucky to see and go in an ice cave and straddle a crevasse. Definitely the highlight of our cruise. We left an item in the shuttle and they even delivered it to the ship after we had left. Thank you!

Ben and Abby were phenomenal tour guides. They made us feel completely at ease and confident about our ice hiking and canoeing adventure. They were very knowledgable and patient. We saw some of the most beautiful scenery and had a wonderful time. I would do it again in a second and I would recommend this tour to all!

We just arrived back from what might be the highlight of our Alaskan cruise. Joey and Ryan were great guides and really nice people. Our safety was uppermost in their minds. Our enjoyment right up there equal. The canoe was huge. 14 of us paddling so not a problem. They have smaller ones too. Paddling across the lake was a joy and the views spectacular but what awaited us 2as the Mendenhall Glacier in all its glory. The trip is active but well worth the work. Please give yourself a gift and do this excursion. Walking on a Glacier is an experience not everyone gets to have.

Our tour does require a bit of work, but definitely well worth it. Coming around the peninsula to see the Mendenhall Glacier bright and beautiful gives us goosebumps every time. Thank you for the amazing review.
