  • Guide services
  • Ice crampons
  • All taxes and fees
What's Not Included:

Meals and gratuities.

Physical Activity: No experience necessary but participants should be able to hike about 8-11 miles on uneven terrain. The last ¼ mile of the trail to / from the glacier has deteriorated in recent years and could have loose rock, exposed ice, loose rock over ice, or steep terrain. This can be challenging for younger children or adults who are unstable on their feet. The glacial terrain will be more varied and challenging than on the Half Day Glacier Hike.
Required at Booking: Date of birth.
Special Terms: While there is no set minimum age for this tour, the tour is not suitable for very young children (see under "Physical Activity" for more details).

Thank you Alaska Tours for setting up our trip in record time. The trip was amazing and we wish we could have stayed longer. We really enjoyed traveling by train — the sites were breathtaking. We will definitely use Alaska Tours for our next trip.
