Terrific! - Bryce is super cool!, he's knowledgeable and very friendly. The view was beyond my expectation, it was snowing that day but not cold at all. The snowshoeing was fun and easy !

Amazing Tour - a must do in Anchorage - I did the Beginner Snowshoeing hike and it was perfection!! Matt was the best guide who didn't even laugh when I fell over in the carpark!! He carried my camera for me, taking photos (see below) and passing it over when I needed it. We caught a glimpse of a moose which was pretty special. I come from Australia and was in awe of the mountains and so much snow. This also made me a complete amateur on snowshoes and Matt was very helpful and encouraging. Do yourself a favour and take this tour - or the advanced snowshoe adventure if you have the skills. It was an absolute highlight of my trip.

Beginner snowshoe hiking - Our tour guide Bryce was fantastic, so knowledgeable about Alaska, Anchorage and all the activities available. He also gave us some restaurant tips and other hiking spots. Our trip was a little overcast but Bryce made the best of it!

Refreshing and friendly adventure - It's a fruitful adventure. Not many people. Only four of us plus the guide trekking in the silence of great Nature. I enjoyed the total whiteness, the hovering mist between the divine-looking mountains. Bryce is a professional guide. He doesn't talk too much if not needed. He offered us a high-end binoculars to search for a fox (although I didn't see it :). He's patient with my questions and tried to accommodate every member's needs. I felt refreshed, relaxed and energized, only hoping to spend a little longer time with the mountains.
