Great tour to see the glacier and learnt a lot
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We had a very knowledgeable guide, so we learnt a lot about the area, the glaciers, some history, flora and fauna, etc. He is very friendly and showed us some amazing views and water falls.

Great for all ages!
We had a great time with Glacier Valley Eco Tour. It is literally an off-the-beaten-track, personalized tour. We would never have seen the places we walked to otherwise. Our group of family members ranged from young school-aged to upper middle aged, with low to moderate levels of fitness. Our guide was fantastic at tailoring and pacing our walk according to our abilities. He provided interesting local knowledge (as well as general knowledge) and willing to answer all our questions. He had a good sense of humor and was easy to talk to. It was one of the big highlights of our West Coast trip. Worth even full price.
