We had the best day!!! Adrianna was an amazing guide! She made us feel safe, was incredibly engaging, and gave us such a memorable day on the glacier! It was such a unique way to experience the Alaskan terrain and it was a great way to stretch our legs after our cruise! The company allowed us to bring our luggage and picked us up straight from the cruise! Highly recommend! Thank you, Adrianna!

We rafted on the Resurrection River, hiked up to and on the Exit Glacier and took a whaling / Glacier boat tour and stayed at Windsong Lodges. A totally great experience. Dining was not great, however, Reds for burgers was great. All in all, we’d go back and recommend Seward.

We had a great time hiking on a glacier with this group! Our guides were attentive, friendly and thorough. They thought of every detail. It was a long day, but a fun one!

If you are in decent shape, I would highly recommend this adventure. It will test you, but the views were incredible. The staff was amazing and knowledgeable. Well worth it.

We did the Exit Glacier hike with Kenai Backcountry Adventures. If there were world championships for best glacier hiking guides, Ashley and Fred would definitely podium! 🥇They were safe, adventurous, knowledgeable, and fun! Although we only brought a group of six friends, Ashley and Fred are welcome to expand our friend group to eight in future adventures. As fun as they were, they kept a good pulse on the group, stopping to rest when we needed, and pushing us to explore as well! We checked out crevasses and moulins from above (and below!), wiggled into ice caves where we were rained on by glacier water, and even learned about edible plants and antiseptic mosses while we hiked! After traipsing around all day on crampons with Ashley and Fred, my calves were sore, my feet were numb, and my cheeks hurt from laughing. Would do it again in a heartbeat. The landscape was jaw dropping, and the guides made it so so memorable. Make sure you go with Kenai Backcountry Adventures. You won’t be disappointed.

Awesome experience getting out onto the ice. Shout-out to Brandon for making sure everyone was safe while taking us to some cool spots on the glacier, as well as the cool pictures. Plus the excellent turkey wraps!

Fred took my wife and I up on Exit Glacier. It was our first time scaling a glacier. He taught us how to walk on the ice and respect its natural beauty. We saw other outfitters carving steps and modifying the glacier to make it easier for their customers. We thought that was disrespectful. Fred helped us explore the glacier with minimal impact. As a previous Boy Scout and Scout Leader, I appreciated the ‘Leave no trace’ attitude. A once in a lifetime experience. We would do it again, but only with Kenai Backcountry. Thank you for an incredible experience

We did a glacier hike with Brandon as our guide and it was incredible. The hike and glacier itself were breathtaking but our guide was so full of enthusiasm and passion that it made the experience even better. We got to explore and play around on the glacier and learned so much about glaciers and Alaska.
