You must do this!!! - This was the most fun ever! We were up so close to the glacier and floating ice, it was just amazing. The boat was fast, comfortable and just the best. We got amazing pictures and great memories.

5 star outfit offering 5 star day and half day trips - Our group of 4 adults took a 4 hr. Afternoon jet boat tour up the Stikine River that actually lasted 5 hrs. The owner and captain, Eric, wanted for us to see as much as possible. He pointed out wildlife, had us stand on an iceberg, visit a forest service cabin (with chance to use the out house). He was able to get extremely close to the glacier and we trolled all the way from one end to the other. The trip was up close and personal. I highly recommended this company.
