Our guide Ian was excellent, very informative and everyone was kitted-out really well. If you have kayaked before be mindful that the pace is a bit slow and progress and speed, understandably, is set by beginners in the group. You also donā€™t get particularly close to the Meadenhall glacier but, doubtless this is a safety precaution! A great experience, if a little pricey, for beginners and anyone after another perspective to enjoy the scenery.

Had a great kayak near the Glacier. Our guide Isaac was GREAT!!! Thank you! We lucked out with the weather and water. Saw a few bald eagles and a few harbour seals. Thanx again Isaac!

The views out on the water were beautiful but we didn't see much wildlife except for some otters way out in the distance. Our guide was super friendly and helpful. Wish we could have been out on the water a bit longer.
