Amazing first time in a Kayak!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Our kayak tour was the last night on a 40th birthday trip for my husband. Our guide was very informative about how to use the kayak and made me less nervous being out in the water. We were able to stop on a little island and he took pictures of my husband and I with the lake as a backdrop along with some in our kayaks. ” –Qunbenp / Viator

Glacier provided one of the best tours I’ve ever had. They phoned me twice to confirm the reservation and tell me what to expect on the tour. Our guide, Adam, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. The 5-hr driving tour included many key spots in Glacier National Park plus an excellent lunch. This company made the first visit to Glacier both easy and memorable.

Adam was out tour guide today, and despite the awful rainy weather we dealt with, he made the day a very fun and enjoyable experience. His knowledge of the park, its history and the area overall made things fun and lifted our spirits in spite of the weather. He’s really great at his job and we’d highly recommend using Glacier Tours to get familiarized with the park.

Dan was our tour guide. He had so many interesting facts and stories about what we were seeing. He kept me thoroughly engaged. I am so glad we did this and would recommend. We saw things we never would have known about if we were out on our own. So glad we took the tour with Dan.
