Stunning tour and an up close way to experience the changes happening due to climate change. Guides Kevin and Paul both studied geology in college and gave a knowledgeable commentary on the affects of a warming climate on glaciers.

All of it!!! Canoeing, hiking and just exploring the glacier. Pictures don't capture the full beauty of nature.

Mike and Kevin were the absolute best guides. We had such a good time, despite the weather, canoeing and hiking. I felt safe with them and confident in case of a “worst case” scenario. 5/5 would recommend and absolutely do again. If you’re visiting on a cruise, do yourself a favor and book directly thru the company.

You can definitely be at ease while paddling with Mike and Kevin. I am glad you enjoyed your trip with them and do hope you can make it back up to us! We always love it when cruisers venture out the ice with us! Thanks!
