Wonderful experience!

Aimee_F, Aug 2023

Our hike was fantastic! The scenery was incredibly beautiful and we learned so much about the local surroundings and history of the area. And most importantly, Gene was a wonderful tour guide - extremely knowledgeable and just a lovely person to spend an afternoon with. If you enjoy hiking, this is the excursion for you!

Much more than a hike!

This trip surpassed all expectations! Andy and Savanna taught us so much about the forest and really made this trip so much more than a hike!! My husband, who isn’t usually interested in plants, is still talking about this trip days later. I wish we had more time in Juneau as I would love to explore another tour with Andy and team!!

Great family hike with a great guide!

What a fun outing! First of all, Brandon was a fantastic guide. It was just our family and him. After a short drive we arrived at our hiking point and we geared up. After some loading up on snacks and water (and bear instructions), we made our way through a 4 hour hike. There were five of us, my wife, and 16, 13, and 6 year old. It was beautiful, unrushed, our kids asked questions, learned about the foliage, the animals, glaciers, etc. We probably hiked more than an hour before seeing another person. If you truly want to get away from the cruise ship crowd and be in nature, this is the excursion for you. There were 4 or 5 cruise ships in that day, but we felt like we had the forest all to ourselves! Thanks Brandon!

Wonderful hike

The guide was very knowledgeable and the views were spectacular. Once in a lifetime experience. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who is reasonably fit.

Excellent hike adventure!

Amazing hike and views Andy was an amazing guide very knowledgeable of the forest plant life not to mention the local history and stories. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an amazing hike!

Breathtaking and Memorable Hike

Eddie_P, Jun 2021

We had an amazing experience. We had some rain, but it didn't take away from the amazing view, hike, and interpretive knowledge of Dan Michrowski, our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, the plants and wildlife, and he was very kind. He also showed his expertise in handling a Black Bear on the trail so that we always felt safe. That alone was a memorable experience. We would (and will) do other hikes with Dan and Alaska Luxury Tours. Wow!!!

Great

Henry, May 2021

Though it is a group tour, they were still operating even there was only me, so that is great! Very beautiful trip and really worth it, you have enough time to see the glacier. The shuttle is clean and spacious, they also prepared snacks, bottle with water.

Excellent guide and info
