Lifetime experience! - This was definitely a lifetime experience and the closest view of the glaciers. Our tour guides Luke and Jonathan were super friendly, knowledgeable, and equipped canoe operators. They came prepared for the rainy weather having full on wet gear and rain boots for all of us. They dropped great history and science nuggets behind the glaciers, Juneau, wildlife, and Alaska in general. Highly recommend this experience if you are physically able to. We had a good group so the canoeing didn’t feel tiring at all and we were given adequate breaks to rest and soak in the environment.

Great adventure! - Ben was our guide. he was so knowledgeable and got us close to the glacier. we thought the day was going to be ruined because it was raining, but the gear kept us dry. we saw sooo many Bald Eagles we would do it again. it was definitely an adventure to remember. thank you, Ben.
