Amazing and easy trip - This was a great value and our guide, Patrick, is a sweetheart. The guides at the Glacier were also wonderful- HOWEVER they survive on tips! Which worries me greatly. PLEASE tip the guides!!!

A once in a lifetime experience!! - My friend and I were on a 10 day trip to Alaska and this hike was a definite highlight. We booked it through Nova Alaska Guides and there were 2 experienced guides for 13 of us, ranging in age from mid-20's to my friend and I (active 65+ seniors). It was 2 1/2 hours including the transportation to the glacier and the primary guide, Angie was both very knowledgeable and passionate about the protection and education of the glacier. We learned so much, and her and Maria provided a fun atmosphere while also insuring our safety, which was their priority. We were fortunate that it a very sunny and temperate afternoon so we did not need most of the layers we brought.

Bucket List - Hiking the Glacier was AMAZING. 20 some years ago we took a helicopter tour/ Glacier walk and was disappointed that it was more like a couple of steps than a walk. Ever since that time, I have longed to actually hike a Glacier and this trip checked off a bucket list dream of mine and for a much more reasonable cost the the cruise ships. DO IT! You will not regret it

Glacier Hike - My wife and I came to Alaska for our 1 year anniversary. We had the pleasure of sharing our experience with Grace. It was awesome. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about everything from Alaskan history to moose digestive patterns. The hike was very memorable and not particularly physically challenging. There were families with young kids who had no problem keeping up. Would recommend to anyone looking for an immersive Alaskan experience.
