We lucked out with the most beautiful day. Even bits of sun! Our guides Mason and Jordan were fantastic. Good information and funny jokes. Felt safe the whole time. It’s a good 5 mile paddle out and back so come prepared for a workout. Standing in front of the glacier (you don’t get to walk on it) is other-earthly.
The most peaceful place on earth!

Incredible journey to the glacier. Meg and Jordan had such a wealth of knowledge about the glacier and the animals and area around it. It was special getting so close to the bottom and being awed by its size!! This is a must do activity!!

Great tour! Once in a lifetime experience! Jonathan and Ed were the best tour guides. Extremely knowledgeable, personable, and a lot of fun. Not only was it beautiful, but it was an educational experience.
