The overall trip was good and the glacier was fascinating but the people at the check-in desk before we started directed us to give a $20 tip to our guide. That’s not how tips work. Given the price of the event, this was a real turnoff for us.
A bucket list!

We had a wonderful time! The trip was fantastic. The glacier is amazing and the glacier tour guides were phenomenal. Pack a lunch, water, and dress warm, with layers! Hiking boots are a must. The wine and honey at the end is really just a brief stop, not really a wine tasting.
Worth it!

Kim is an awesome tour guide. She is so friendly and knowledgeable. Honestly, would take this tour again if it was with her and the same glacier tour hike guide. It was AMAZING! You get your bang with your buck.

A fascinating tour. I learned a lot about glaciers and Alaska in general, and got plenty of exercise in the process. The van driver and glacier guide were both personable and informative.
