Awesome and chill - Jeremy took good care of us and was an easy going guy. Our booking online was set up wrong. The date that we set over the phone was pushed to the next day. The mix up meant we weren’t going to be able to experience it. Jeremy still went the extra mile and helped do a later time the same day for us. The experience was fun and relaxing and even my kids could handle it with no problems.
My girl and I got to see them have a lot fun and while enjoying everything ourselves at a pretty chill pace. They are single person kayak, so talk with them if you can for your kids if you were hoping they would be kayaks for pairs, but it was worth the time.
Thanks again for the good time Jeremy

Knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive guide service. - I not only got to participate in kayaking, I also went on their atv tour to the glacier. Jeremy and Nicole are just as knowledgeable of their equipment and the activities, as they are as great local guides. I felt very comfortable with them at the helm of our events and trusted their guidance in a place and setting I wasn’t confident in. I will be returning and plan to utilize their business again when I return to Alaska. I highly recommend them and their great business!

Relaxing and fun - It was a beautiful and relaxing trip. It was the perfect ending to an action packed trip. Sadly, the wildlife was not cooperating but it was still a great trip. The guides were friendly, shared interesting facts and gave suggestions for other things to do. We enjoyed the Thunderbird Falls hike per their suggestion.

Well, the company messed... - Well, the company messed up our schedule. We scheduled it over the phone for the next day and they scheduled it 2 days ahead. So we got there and no one was around. We r very grateful that the owner still gave us the tour a few hours later. No Icebergs or waterfalls to see up close though. But overall was relaxing.
