Paul and Bryce were amazing. They were a wealth of knowledge and information. They were helpful and considerate when we were preparing and putting in equipment. Gave great instructions and safety talk. We had a great day on the lake canoeing to the glacier and we had fun exploring the glacier and discovering all the new and growing crevasses and Moulins. Paul and Bryce were fun, safety conscience, knowledgable, & great photographers. Would highly recommend them and would love ti do the trip again. Thanks fir a great day.

We were on a cruise that visited Juneau on Sunday, May 15th 2022. This experience was one of the two best that we had during that week! It was the perfect combination of a beautiful scenic location, along with participating in the effort to get there. Our guides (Paul & Matt) were personable, informed, and had the right personality, attitude and sense of humor to be great guides on this trip. They were willing and able to answer any questions we had, and we felt like we were in capable hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who might be considering it!

Lena and Mike were an absolute hit as our tour guides. We booked this excursion with them for our excursion from our Alaska cruise vacation. Lena guided the front of the canoe where I had a blast following her paddling. Mike was steering from the back giving us reprieve by giving us breaks to enjoy the scenery, between jokes + his Boston accent! They're so knowledgeable about the glaciers that I ran out of questions to ask. When hiking on the glacier, Lena did a great job pointing out some really unique spots to look out for as well as ensuring we were safely trekking along. I also felt so secure that Mike was right behind, ensuring we all stayed together and came back in 1 piece. Thank you both for making our experience the best one yet during our vacation. We feel so blessed to have experienced this once in our lives. Also enjoyed the hot beverage afterwards :)
