My wife and I just finished a great tour with Karla. She was a great guide, extremely personable and knowledgeable of Haines and the abundant wildlife in the area, as well as the amazing scenery. Michelle was also extremely helpful in setting up the trip, rebooking a couple of times as our travel plans changed. She was in contact with us regularly as the trip approached checking to see if we needed anything. A very positive experience and one that I highly recommend.

You won’t be disappointed if you book a tour with Rainbow Glacier Adventures. I loved the small town feel and appreciated Joe’s passion of ensuring his clients have an amazing adventure. Karla was an incredible guide. Very warm and welcoming and her knowledge of the area was thorough and interesting. She had a nice calm demeanor that made people feel at ease. I really enjoyed myself and I got some incredible photos during the tour.

This was a great tour of Haines and the local area. Pat K. was our tour guide. We saw so many eagles. He would stop often and even turning around when he spotted an eagle next to the shore. Small group size of 12 made it more personable. Easy tour that made great use of the 3 hours.
