We loved this excursion in Juneau! Our guides were Matt and Andrew and they were fantastic! They were fun and responsible! We had a great time hiking around the glacier! The paddle was at a faster pace than we expected, but it was fun as well. We are so glad we took the time to do this activity. We highly recommend it!

What a great tour. The highlight of our tour with the combination of paddling a canoe and trekking on the glacier. Our guides Matt and Andrew were nothing short of fantastic. Professional, knowledgeable and lots of fun while making sure we were all safe and within our capabilities. We managed to venture into a small ice cave which was amazing and our guides found many interesting and beautiful nooks and crannies for us to explore. Wet weather gear, crampons and snacks were provided as well as a dry bag to store our belongings. This is an absolute must for any visit to Alaska.

Guides Casey and Andrew were awesome, fun, knowledgeable,full of patience, and safety conscience. Wonderful expedition if you want to experience the glaciers. Remember this is a more strenuous experience and you need to be able to have good arm strength for rowing and balance for maneuvering around glacier.
