Phenomenal Experience! - 5 STAR! This was by far the best thing we did in Alaska! Our guide Adriana picked us up from the cruise terminal (w/ luggage) as we disembarked from our final day of the cruise and stored it for us during the tour. Following necessary gear & education we were taken by van to the Kenai Fjords National Park where we proceeded to hike straight up for the next 3-4 hours with breaks for rest, water and of course photos!!! You must bring the raingear for the glacier. We had to take an additional suitcase but was worth it. Once we got the the glacier (loved the crampons!) the views were phenomenal and besides having lunch on the glacier (because we could sit with raingear) the water from it was an exciting part. Only took half the time to come back down. We are ages 60 and 52 and not the best of shape but had been working on cardio before this trip and had invested in the best gear down to great hiking boots and poles are provided. It is a strenuous hike but highly recommend if you are able and given the chance to do it with Kenai Backcountry Adventures and Adriana who clearly loves the land and its history as it was worth every sore muscle after!

Amazing experience - Amazing experience on the glacier hike. Al was our guide and really made the experience memorable and fun. It isn't an easy hike to get there but not high difficulty either. Need to be in decent shape and able to hike on with elevation gains. Highly recommend.

Spectacular glacier hike with Al - Kenai Backcountry was very good about returning our calls and answering all questions/concerns about fitness and equipment for the hike. We had Al as our guide, and her Environmental Science degree was evident in her excellent knowledge of the plants and landscape. Her enthusiasm was infectious. It was an uphill climb and she had several scenic snack stops planned for us. The trail leading to the glacier was a steep downhill. She was a huge help to me there as well as on the glacier. I would not have been able to do the full hike without her help. Thanks Al, for a truly unforgettable experience and lunch on the glacier. We safely explored moulins and waterfalls with helmets, crampons and harness that was provided by them. She taught us how to use all the equipment. They even had poles and backpacks for our use. Highly recommend them for your next adventure.

Highly recommend - My family (including two boys - 16 and 13) cannot say enough of great things about our experience! Exit glacier is such a unique place that is changing rapidly that our trip would not be complete without experiencing it. Brandon was a fantastic guide with a true passion for this beautiful place and has made our hike simply unforgettable. I am afraid of heights and was a bit nervous initially but Brandon's simple instructions have given me confidence and helped to really enjoy our hike. Thank you!

Unforgettable experience with the best and knowledgeable glacier guides - The stunning views, the experience to walk on top a glacier and understand it, its evolution and who knows how much is going to last. All exceptionally well explained by Adriana, very knowledgable and you can tell she loves to do her job.

Exit glacier tour was epic! - If you are lucky enough to get Al as your tour guide, you will have an incredible time exploring Exit Glacier. We automatically felt so calm and trusting of Al to show us the ropes on how to safely tour the glacier. We learned so much from Al about the terrain, and the history of the area and even the future of how things are evolving. This was an awesome activity!!
