Matt, our tour guide, made the excursion unforgettable
Travelers are on a lake to witness the incredible portage glacier. We sat inside the boat so it wasn’t very cold or bumpy. My husband was with a walker and the cruise was very accessible but getting in and out of the shuttle was challenging but doable. Matt our tour guide made the trip informative and interesting. He is also a special person and was very attentive.

Great personalized tour!
Other than a hiccup with the dining at the top of the tram not being available, we had a great day on Turnagain Arm. Dawn was a wonderful guide--offered good information along the way but also was sensitive to our need for "quiet time" as we were tired from two weeks of traveling in Alaska. Good balance overall, and a gorgeous day to see Portage Glacier!

I booked this small group...
I booked this small group tour instead of the large group excursions offered during our cruise. There were just 4 of us (we traveled with 2 friends). Christina was incredibly flexible with the itinerary. We had tickets on the first glacier boat trip of the day. Only 12 people on board compared with 120 who were booked for the 11.30 departure. We stopped off at a salmon run, had plenty of time at the Alaskan Conservation Center & made several side stops for photos & to enjoy the scenery. It was a really wonderful day. For a virtually private trip lasting almost 7 hours, we paid half the price of the cruise Hubbard Glacier trip - lasting 2 hours with 200 people on board.

Glacier cruise and Alaska conservation tour
Great fun with tour guide Matthew. Loved the informative tour. The boat ride didn’t occur due to mechanical issues, so went to a salmon spawning stream. Ended up to seeing a brown bear in a stream! Which was much more thrilling!!!
