5.00The glacier was AMAZING! The crew at glacier that guides you were super nice and basically rockstars. I will say, the drive there is pretty tough. It’s a lot of winding, beat up bumpy roads, and if your driver hits those turns going too fast then slams on the breaks like we had, bring some Dramamine…but she was very nice! The shop for the local honey and wine tasting is a cool little place. Not a true tasting but worth the stop! We didn’t get to try the wine, but the honey was really good and the woman making the coffee was very sweet. This glacier hike is a once in a lifetime opportunity you won’t want to miss.
Good way to hike a glacier

2.00Didn’t care for it. The pictures are misleading as we went in August. So we were walking on black debris. Just walked on rocks. It was not white at all. Wouldn’t recommend in the summer. Probably different in the winter. And, it was over a 2 hr drive there from Anchorage and 2 hour drive back.
Beautiful day trip

5.00The 2 hour drive was beautiful and our driver Kim was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Our glacier guide Bennett was amazing. He was fun and you could tell he enjoyed his job. Our 12 year old son has decided he wants to come back when he’s older and be a glacier guide. The glacier hike was long and you needed to focus but the spikes helped and every step was even more beautiful. I would not recommend for anyone who struggles with balance.
