Beautiful Views - This was a fun tour with a beautiful tour. The guides were knowledgeable about Alaskan wildlife and nature. The only downfall is that the route is mostly on the side of a two lane highway.

Good time - William, Phoenix and Clay were great guides. My only suggestion is to keep the segways off the road area as the local people do not like them.

Not to be missed!! So much fun!! - We had no experience with using a Segway so we were all slightly apprehensive. Our guides quickly allayed our fears with their clear instructions and individual attention. We had a blast! The trail was beautiful and well done. So much beauty our guides were knowledgeable and were so willing to share that with us. Kacie and Sione were super friendly and answered all our questions and offered great encouragement as we navigated the trail. Our group all agreed the tour totally surpassed our expectations!!
