Testimonials
I cannot tell you or express in words how much we enjoyed this opportunity - I've never been in such peaceful, raw beauty, and so remote before. To think this was just a piece of what Alaska is. My favorites were watching Bear, the fish in the stream, getting out in the dingy boat and the beautiful moon over crystal clear glass water; and oh yes, the BIG calving glaciers!!
