“One of the best experiences of our lives.”
“We did a glacier landing adventure, and unlike some other companies in the area (who we saw land and leave very quickly) we had a good amount of time on the ice where Chris took us on a mini hike to some of the waterfalls and pools on the glacier.
It was truly a memorable experience and highly recommend it to everyone.”
