We had an epic time! Our guide Daniel was awesome. Although we a some rain we didn’t let that stop us, paddling through the blue glaciers was a bucket list experience!

This was so much fun! Our group of six (3 adults and 3 kids) were all just raving about how awesome it was to get to kayak on a glacier. Our guides were fantastic and friendly, and this was definitely a highlight of the trip. 100% recommended.

Just did the off-road vehicle and kayak tour at Knik Glacier, and it was absolutely exciting! The bumpy ride through the rugged terrain was thrilling, and kayaking right in front of the massive blue glacier was breathtaking. Our guide was so nice—super friendly, funny, and never rushed us at all. We had plenty of time to soak in the views and truly enjoy every moment. Left feeling completely satisfied and exhilarated. Highly recommend this combo if you want a relaxed yet adventurous day in Alaska!

We had a great time! We were right in front of the glacier and iceberg! We saw these layers of ice , air bubbles inside it, even heard the ice breaking down sound inside of it. Its like literally we were inside the ice age :p. The site is at foot of massive Knik glacier, you can see glacier in the mountains and flow down to the river! The site is remote, thanks to our tour guide Daniel! He drove us through the forest, with mud, water, and all of that wild nature! We saw mountain goats, moose in the wood! The road ride was very fun. There is no way we can do it ourselves. It is that type of activity you need a tour. Highly recommended! You won’t be disappointed!

Amazing views and kayaking next to the glaciers was the closest you can get to your own private tour where no one else goes!

I'm upset I can only give them 5 stars! This was an AMAZING day! The ride in was long and very dicey at times, but you can't change the location- it was totally worth it. The staff was incredible and very informative. I feel like it fulfilled a bucket list item that I didn't even have on my list. Thumbs up!!!

We travel a lot and have done all sorts of tours in various places. This was hands down the BEST tour we’ve ever done. The off-roading was fabulous, but the kayaking was phenomenal! We were the only people on the water - had the whole lake to ourselves. Fen stayed close as we kayaked, but let us go where we wanted. Daniel sent us the most amazing photos and videos - and then went above and beyond when my son left his headphones in the back of one the jeeps.
So logistics - they picked us up and dropped us off, they had sandwiches, snacks and water. And slip on ‘pants’ to keep us dry in the boats.

Leo was excellent, the tour, the off-road experience and the kayaking were simply amazing. Highly recommended as you won’t regret it!

Such a great day - highly recommend this tour. A taste of Alaskan off-road culture, a chance to see wildlife, gorgeous views, and of course, the glacier! Kayaking amongst the icebergs was magical, so many gorgeous blue pieces of ice, and I’ll never forget the sound of paddling through the ice. Peter and Daniel were our guides, and they were fantastic - wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to everyone.
