Best tour we’ve been on during our whole trip, and one of the best I’ve ever been on!
Lori was our guide, and she also owns the company, so it felt very special. You can tell how much she loves the outdoors by the energy that she gives when sharing it with others.
We thought it was a little pricey at first, but after doing research and reading reviews from other places, we were 100% sure this was the right tour to book. Worth every penny!
The ride to and from the glacier went by faster than I expected; probably because of the amazing views, along with Lori’s commentary.
Main event: GLACIER TIME! Absolutely amazing experience! When you get to the base camp, you’re fitted with microspikes (and snow pants/gear if needed), you then get on a sled pulled by a snowmobile until you get to the glacier itself. Sophie guided us across, around and even through glaciers and crevasses. She was so knowledgeable about the environment and her energy was contagious!
There are so many tours to choose from, but I really hope you choose 907 Tours!

Trekking on the very nice glacier, the girl who guided us was very professional and kind! Great lunch break, beautiful views along the way, shame not to provide a few more stops along the way to admire the landscape.

The trip on the glacier was good! The experienced guide who picked up the bus shared a lot of Anchorage and glacier stories with us, making the trip less boring. Glacier guides are also professional and happy to help!

One of the best and most unique experiences I have had! The drive to the glacier was very beautiful. And our guide Lori stopped at scenic spot to let us take pictures. The hike itself was also extremely cool. They took us to a variety of glacier formations/landscapes and it was very interactive. The experience exceeded our expectation. After the hike, Lori took us to this beautiful restaurant that overlooks the glaciers. Big shoutout to our wonderful guide Lori, who told us so many interesting stories and facts throughout the trip and made this experience truly heartwarming and wholesome. She is also a really great driver!
