5.00Such an amazing opportunity. We first drove to where the glacier was at, while stopping at many scenic spots. Carl, the driver and tour guide, was amazing :) He made sure the group was comfortable and prepared for the glacier hike with clothing preparations. At the glacier itself, we had Johnson who led the hike expedition, where we saw unique ice formations, ice caves, and beautiful snow with the scenic background. The ice slide was amazing. Shoutout to both Johnson and Carl! Highly rec!

5.00Loved this trip to walk on the glacier. Although it was quite cold, our guide offered free warmer. If you have never had any experience on glacier hiking, this is good and it is not difficult.
