Best Experience in Alaska

5.00This was the most exciting and exceptional experience. A highlight of our trip. This trip was a last minute choice as we had a shuttle and plans to do Exit Glacier full trek to back of glacier 8 miles and the weather was bad so we had to make the best use of our our vacation. This turned out to be the best decision and we will remember all everything about this trip. We had the most exceptional Captain Kenny and his crew that pointed out wildlife and things no one noticed. We saw an occurrence of a black bear that he has never seen, many puffin, starfish, harbor seals, many bird species, an lone Orca, 8 humpbacks whales and so much more. Our family was so amazed and would recommend this trip to anyone and when we come back we will do it again!!
Epic trip

5.00The tour was great. Got to see several animals. The only thing is to make sure to layer up as it gets pretty cold once it gets close to glaciers.
Delivers all it promised....
