I will be sharing with friends. One of my lifetime favorite excursions. Great value. The guides love their job and take great care to make sure everyone loves the area as much as they do. We took a wrong turn and arrived a few minutes late….they were very gracious with us….Good people! Wish I could go every month to see how it changes with the season. Thinking about it? Just do it.

This was my first time to Alaska and out of the many tours I went on during my 10 day trip, including flying over the Alaskan mountain range and Denali, this was the best experience. The glaciers are absolutely stunning and our guide Tom was so wonderful and shared his love of the area.

This was a great experience. We went very close to the ice in the boat and the colours were amazing. Staff are friendly and the hot drink stop is an added extra. The views of the glacier were fantastic. Would highly recommend as value for money.

We reserved the tour several days ahead of time, but on the morning of the tour I received a call from the operator saying they were cancelling the tour due to high water on the Knik River. Although we were disappointed, I wanted to give the tour operator 5 stars for putting safety first and immediately giving us a full refund. Hopefully we’ll be back!

Great tour with great guides Loved the overland safari as well as the boat ride. And great hot cocoa after a short walk to overlook the glacier

Easily one of the best things you could do in Alaska, the tour was nothing short of breathtaking. The pictures do not do it justice. They make sure you're warm and provide jackets if you need them, as things get cold on the boat ride over to the glacier. Once there, you can explore around the area and take some incredible pics of the glacier, and you can hang out with the crew and hear their stories over a cup of hot chocolate or coffee. I never thought I would go see a glacier by way of an army truck (driving through a river at one point) and an airboat, but here we are. It's a one of a kind experience, and I would do it again tomorrow if I could. Don't go for the big tours where you're seeing a glacier with 50 other people. This one is intimate, quiet, and worth every penny, and the pictures don't do it justice. Thank you to Tom and the crew!
