Kenai, Alaska
With a perfect rating across hundreds of reviews, this outfit consistently delivers on memorable Alaska adventures, from glacier treks to river rafting. The guides really make the experience here – Brandon, Derek, Mary, and Jared all get enthusiastic shout-outs for being knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. People love that guides take their time, answer questions, and even drop guests directly at their accommodations. The glacier hikes seem especially popular, with travelers calling them bucket-list experiences worth the physical effort. The company handles logistics smoothly with hotel pickups and well-prepared equipment. One traveler noted the Resurrection River rafting felt shorter than expected with multiple stops breaking up the actual time on the water, though they still enjoyed their guide. Most guests, however, feel they got exactly what they hoped for – whether it's standing on crystalline blue ice, spotting eagles and salmon, or conquering challenging terrain with capable guides who genuinely love their work.
Caroline and Derek were fantastic guides. We did the exit glacier hike and it was an amazing experience it snowed almost the whole time so we got to do hiking snowshoeing and put on crampons to get on the glacier. Got a lot of amazing pictures and videos
