Our tour guide was...

Our tour guide was EXCELLENT, friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. He was so familiar with the territory and pointed out things we would have never noticed. It was also so gratifying to spend time with someone who truly loves his job and wanted to share his love and experiences with travelers.

Amazing Tour

This was an incredible tour! Our guide was amazing and made sure we saw lots of wildlife and animals. He made so many stops along the way. He also kept us very safe on the trails with bear spray. Our glacier cruise was cancelled due to bad weather but we got refunded and we had much more fun hiking!

Cool Tour

My husband and I took this tour during our first visit to Alaska. Our tour guide James was VERY knowledgeable, kind and made our trip a fun one! James even offered tips on how to enhance our photo taking; which was really cool. We really enjoyed the glaciers and wildlife and new information we learned. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing Tour - Ten Stars

Incredible tour! We got to see so much in six hours and we also got in a great amount of walking. Our tour guide was so impressive and he shared so much information. He also made sure to keep us safe by bringing bear spray on the trails. Our glacier cruise was canceled because of the wind but honestly, it was cooler to go hiking anyway - especially if you’ve seen other glaciers in Alaska. I recommend eating a big breakfast because you don’t eat until 3 pm, which is 7 pm ET haha We were fine because we ate right before but bring snacks if you think you’ll get hungry!
