We had a fabulous time. The best guide ever. He was so nice and informative. He was willing to accommodate to our needs. The tour was amazing. We saw how beautiful nature is. The tour company responded quickly when our ship changed its time in port.

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!

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!!

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!

I can not say enough great things about this tour and our wonderful guide Lilli!
She was so knowledgeable about all the Alaska flora, especially avoiding the devil's claw! She picked us up at our hotel, had a complimentary water bottle for each of us, snacks and water, too. We drove about 20 minutes to the hiking trail but made.a quick detour, on our insistence, to get her dog Odie, who made the hike even more fun! Lilli took us on trails that were not packed with other hikers and that made the experience so pleasant.
The hike was not strenuous but challenging enough to get a workout. She took us to an old mining camp and showed us some of the best places to take pictures of Mendenhall Glacier and the nearby Nugget waterfall. We then stopped at the Mendenhall Visitor Center, where we could tour the exhibits and get one last picture. We have taken many guided hikes all over the world, but we will never forget this wonderful hike with Lilli and Odie.
