What Past Customers are saying
“It felt like we were on Pluto or something.”
We did paddle boarding in the knik glacier. It was one of a kind of an experience. It felt like we were on Pluto or something. They gave dry suits that protected us from the glacier ice.
Also the ride to the glacier was amazing. The pilot was super friendly and made us very comfortable.
The whole crew was so sweet, helpful and answering all our questions. Really nice people!

“We had a paddle boarding tour through the bluest glacier pools!”
I can’t put into words how amazing this trip was! It was perfect on every level! Our guides were truly exceptional! We were taken out to Knik Glacier by way of helicopter and landed on the glacier. We had a paddle boarding tour through the bluest glacier pools! The guides took many photos for us so we could just enjoy paddle boarding. After paddle boarding, we took a glacier plunge into the water… AMAZING! We filled up our water bottles with glacier water of course and then off to the next! It was followed by another helicopter ride to land on a nearby mountain for a hike. Last but surely not least, we took a different scenic route back soaring through a gorge and spotting a variety of wildlife along the way (moose, mountain goats, eagles). Absolutely perfect!!

“One of the best experiences we have ever had!!”
We did glacier paddle boarding with Nick and it was definitely one of the best experiences we have ever had!! The glacier was beautiful and the route to the pond/small lake of water was fun to float through. The view was breathtaking all the way through The helicopter ride was about 20min one way, but they took different routes in and out, which we really enjoyed. We even saw a bear on the way back! I highly recommend it!
