During your 75-minute journey through North America’s deepest fjord, keep a lookout for whales, seals, and cascading waterfalls while your Naturalist guide tells you more about the area you are traveling through. Upon arrival at the remote Glacier Point beach, you will take a short, adventurous drive across the forested glacial moraines to our base camp where you will gear up in rubber boots and a life jacket. After a ¼ mile walk, the forest opens to reveal a breathtaking view of the Davidson Glacier and pristine lake below.

Would pass on this next time. Boat ride had great scenery. Canoe part was just okay. It wasn’t my favorite excursion of the trip.

In order to properly review a tour operator, I have to separate out the scenery. Yes, the scenery is gorgeous. The boat ride through the inlet provided spectacular views, especially on the beautiful sunny day we were there. The glacier itself was neat to see (although, as others have stated, we could not get close enough to touch it).
The problem with this tour is the immaturity of the staff.
I am guessing the average age of the staff is 23. They were disorganized and immature from start to finish. Many in our group (not just our family, but the group as a whole) felt confused and even unsafe (especially as jokes about fighting off bears were being made while standing in the Alaska wilderness).
I cannot recommend this tour at all, and frankly was surprised at the prior favorable reviews.
