Can’t stop thinking about it - I’m writing this review years later since I am in the app and I just want to say that my husband and I still talk about this tour. This was one of the best experiences on a trip we’ve ever had and we are always trying to top this epic experience and it is difficult! Our guide was so awesome and the views and hike were incredible.

Excellent Experience! A Must Do - Derek was awesome, you could tell he enjoyed his job and was excited for people to experience this hike! The lunch he made was yummy and he was very kind and accommodating to when people wanted to stop for a breather too. He even dropped us off at our bnb instead of the drop off point (which was only a few blocks away). Overall amazing experience! Very happy to have done it.

Amazing views and awesome guide! - Any trip up to and through the glacier would be amazing, but Mary really took the time to show how dynamic the biome really is by looking for and showing us new features that had not been there before and offering us choices for which aspects we wanted to see, we got fun facts and great conversation the whole way, we cannot recommend this enough.

First time adventurous glacier hike with familyr - Our hiking guides Jack and Natalie were absolutely fantastic! They were incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information along the way, making the hike not only beautiful but educational too. Their friendly nature made everyone feel welcome, and their patience ensured that no one felt rushed. They kept the group safe at all times, while also making the experience fun and engaging with great stories and humor. Truly the perfect combination of professionalism and personality — highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!

Feels like a different planet!! - Ice climbing on a glacier will remain as one of the top activities I've ever done in my life. It was one of the most adventurous, scenic & adrenaline junky activities I've ever done! The views were insane the entire time. It was a steep hike but totally worth it. The equipment was in good condition and our guides were phenomenal. Both Rachel & Gina had so much knowledge and experience to share. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with each of them. We learned so much and felt so safe during the activity.Safety was definitely a top priority. I HIGHLY recommend ice climbing with exit glaciers and pairing it with kayaking at bear glacier with their sister company, liquid adventures. Thank you Gina & Rachel, and all the staff who made it such an incredible trip!

Fantastic! - Everything went supremely well for this ski-plane ice field excursion: the organization of it, all logistics, gear, guide, pilot, and the activity itself. My wife and I loved it! It was beautiful and so much fun! Our guide, Gina, was fantastic, as was our pilot Joe.
We also did the Jet Boat in to kayak around icebergs in the Bear Glacier lagoon, with helicopter ride back, with Liquid Adventured. That was equally fantastic and very well coordinated.
Exit Glacier Guide and Liquid Adventures are both top-notch in my book. I highly recommend them!
