5.00Great guided hike on the glacier. Guide was knowledgeable and provided a lot of interesting information about the glacier and ensured everyone's safety. Plenty of opportunities to take pictures. Don't have to be super fit, but there is elevation and hiking at a moderate pace vs a stroll. Although the driver didn't provide a guided narrative on the way, he was very knowledgeable of the area and the glacier and happily answered any questions.

5.00Our guide Leona is experienced and friendly. Took lots of professional photos of us. We drove 2 hours and stopped by a Mcdonald to get lunch. The hiking part is one of the kind, once in a lifetime experience. My 5 year old girl was able to follow along, almost 2 hr hike. My 8 year old boy was following the guide all the time, asking all sorts of questions, and the guide was able to answer him and even let him tried the pickaxe on ice and rock. We were lucky the weather was nice. We wore layers of clothes and the kids wore ski pants which proved to be necessary. Wear utility boots or sneakers, something you won't mind to get dirty.

5.00Kevin communicated very well in advance and kept us on track. He was always ahead of the curve and went above and beyond to help us and the other family with children to enjoy the experience safely. He was knowledgeable, helpful and kind, good with all of us from a 4-year old to retirees. 10 out of 10. Also, the on-site guides were well-trained, knew how to explain the glacier and navigate safely in the strange and constantly changing environment. Fun and very memorable.

5.00Our driver Daniel was fantastic. He told us about the area and little tidbits of info along the way. And took us to see gorgeous views of Denali after the hike and to go find a moose (which we did!) he was amazing, can’t say enough good things about him. Our hiking guide Petra was also great. Very knowledgeable and you can tell she really loves her work. Definitely recommend this tour if you are looking for a day trip!
