The trip is one of the best kept secrets in the US. Totally awesome river, great scenery even on a cloudy day, wonderful guides, the flight back over the river canyon we just rafted is a great way to end a wonderful trip!

Tim, our guide, enhanced our experience with his friendly demeanor and vast knowledge of the area (and offering a hot beverage on a cold hike was the cherry on top)!

Best day in Alaska! Glacier hike was amazing. David, our guide, made the trip fun, safe, informative....Just a perfect day. If you are going to do a glacier hike in Alaska...do it here. We were so happy we chose this place as it was clearly the most impressive glacier we saw accessible to hiking. ...
