5.00The glacier hiking trip was absolutely breathtaking! The scenery was spectacular, and although the trail had some ups and downs, it was not too demanding and felt quite manageable. Our driver and guide, Hunter, was incredibly knowledgeable about Alaska—he shared so much about the local culture, geography, and wildlife along the way. He was also very attentive to every member of the group, always making sure we were comfortable. On top of that, he kindly helped us take photos and even gave us lots of great travel tips. Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable experience!

5.00Really special and unique experience. Beautiful views of the glacier. Not to hard physically but might be a little challenging for people who are not fit or have any kind of walking difficulty. Hunter, our driver and tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained many things along the way about Alaska in general, the geography, wildlife etc and glaciers in particular. He was really nice and we really enjoyed the day with him.
Superb visit
