We have done this excursion before and the 2nd time did not disappoint! We brought our daughter and her boyfriend and they absolutely loved it. Jordan and Luke did a great job adding info tidbits! Thanks for making our day in Juneau so memorable. This is a MUST BOOK excursion if you are physically able to do it.
Highly recommend

Highly recommend. We had a great guide. It’s definitely cold from the air coming off the glacier. Recommend wearing extra cloths

The scenery was breathtaking and we had two guides (Sophie and Molly), that were so smart, fun, and informative. This was our favorite excursion in Alaska.

10/10 recommend! Sophie and Devin were our guides and they were outstanding. Easy meet-up at the dock, high quality gear/clothing, and gorgeous views. The paddle was about an hour each way ( your arms will be sore!) and we spent about 45 minutes hiking near the glacier and hitting the best photo ops! An amazing day in Juneau
