What To Expect

The tour consists of a short walk to the front of the glacier where we will put on our safety equipment and then proceed to hike up and onto the ice. The tour will take you through the lower crevasse field of the glacier and finally up top onto the plateau of the glacier where we will be free to check out many of the glacier features that are present on that day.

There will of course be ample opportunities for photos!

After spending 1-1.5 hours on the ice, we will descend and head back to the parking lot.

All tours are private, so it will be just you and your group. This allows the guide to tailor the experience to precisely what your group wants.
