A must do tour in Alaska

Published on Oct, 2024

This was one of the best tours of my life. Didn’t know what to expect, but the tour guide are so knowledgeable and takes so many safety precautions that you feel safe just following them. It was the best hike with a wonderful view. It was just mesmerizing seeing this beautiful glazier. The highest Valley Glacier in Alaska.

An unforgettable experience!

Amazing tour with an amazing guide! Gary took great care of us, not only did he know so many interesting facts he also had plenty of stories to share. Forget something? No worries! “Aunt” Gary’s got your back. He had water, snacks, sunglasses, gloves, and extra jackets prepared for all of us. Only on this tour can you drink glacier water right from the source and get glacial facials leaving your face looking better than ever! Our trip would not have been as great as it was without this tour. Special thanks to Alex for helping us arrange all these fun activities!

Great day out on the glacier!

This was a really great tour experience. We booked during low season, and Anchorage had just received a massive snowfall; so what was supposed to be a small group tour turned out to be a private one! We met our wonderful guide Dan at the intended meeting point, and he spirited us away in a very roomy, comfortable shuttle van. En route, he briefed us on what to expect at the glacier, and provided us with all kinds of interesting info about the area. The hike was also really great - - it was a cold day, so we made good use of our parkas, snow pants, winter boots, hats and mittens -- you definitely will need them on the hike around the glacier if you're visiting in the winter. Our guides at the glacier were also excellent; very friendly, informative and courteous -- and importantly, safety conscious. One thing to note: you'll have a driver/guide, and a glacier guide -- so prepare yourself to tip accordingly. We didn't realize this was the case, and had to Venmo Dan a tip at the end of the day (which was well-earned!). All in all, would definitely recommend this hike to anyone visiting Anchorage!

A must do experience!

We were looking for a tour while in the visitors center and the woman behind the counter suggested we speak to Dan who was outside at the coach. He was so informative about what the day would entail We signed up right then and there. He brought us to the glacier and our tour guide Nick lead us onto the glacier. It was spectacular! Highly recommend this company.

Jason was great!
