Great tour, small group- Disco was amazing!

Published on Oct, 2024

I had booked an ice cave tour with them, but unfortunately it was quite sunny when we were visiting and most ice caves were not viable. The company managed to find a tiny ice cave and combine it with a glacier walk to make it a good experience. We started the tour with some equipment and a short drive to the glacier. We were then taught to wear and walk in our crampons. Our guide Disco was lovely- he gave us a lot of information and fun facts about the glaciers, and natural processes. He also told us about great camera angles and we got lovely pictures. We were a total of 6 people plus Disco- and the small group experience was wonderful. I highly recommend them!

Great Introduction to Glacier Trekking!

Published on Sep, 2024

My husband and I really enjoyed this “Intro” to glacier touring. Mary was our friendly, fantastic guide and gave us all a good lesson in using the crampons and ice axes we were outfitted with. She explained the features of the glacier and showed us many of ice formations that most of us have only read about! Safety was always first. It was a great tour!

Highly recommend this tour

This was a great experience, with a really great guide (Flo). He was super patient and laid back and knowledgeable. He made sure all of us stayed safe and aware of how to do so. Walking on the glacier was an amazing experience. Glad we did this tour and not longer ones we saw, as the climb uphill before getting to the glacier was a bit challenging, but doable.

Fantastic
