Andy & Mo were our guides and they were amazing. They had answers to our many questions and made the canoe ride quick and effortless with their fun conversation. There were no caves to go into on the glacier but that did not take away from the amazing experience of being on a glacier. While we were hiking, a chuck calved off into the water and we got to canoe right past very large pieces.

Guides Andy & Mo were great. Equipment was all better then expected. Unfortunately there were no available tubes to hike into but that's not L.A.T.'s fault. Hiking the glacier on a beautiful sunny day is a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed. If there was a downside, I would wish the canoeing was quicker so we could spend more time on the glacier. All in all, great time!

My gosh where do we begin! The most awesome tour. Our guides, Andrew and Mo, were extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, and personable! Seeing the glacier in person was amazing - the blue ice (my favorite!), the lake, the crevasses...geez we won’t forget this tour. Well worth it, and it was a great reprieve from the cheesiness of a cruise :) Thank you Andrew and Mo! Our only regret is that Allyson and I didn’t get a pic with you :(
