This one of the best travel days we have ever had. Tom is a fantastic guise. We learned so much and every sight was breath taking. More

Knick Glacier was one of the highlights of our two week trip to Alaska. We were so lucky to have spectacular weather the day we went. The boat ride was wonderful and such a great way to get up close to the glaciers. There is a short hike to get up the hill for the great views, but you still... More

This was first stop on our busy two week vacation. We met up with Tom to begin our morning tour. My wife and daughter were with me, we had a coupon for 2 for 1 which was great. We boarded a van and head out, down the dirt trail, crossing a river in which my wife was very excited about,... More

We camped overnight at Tom's Glacier Camp. Got a great deal and got to go kayaking the morning we woke up. We were provided with sleeping bags, cots, food for dinner and breakfast, snacks, drinks, binoculars, camping chairs, etc. Everything is included in the package and is an unbelievable deal! 100% awesome experience and I have told everyone about it!

The Knik glacier is in our backyard -- 2 hours from Anchorage, but we had only flown over it. On the advice of friends we spent the night at Knik Glacier Lodge and caught the tour the next morning. It is an awesome landscape and you get sense of the power of water and ice. We arranged with Tom, the... More

The opportunity to get this close to a huge glacier should not be missed! We booked with Tom after learning about his tour via the Alaska Tour Savers discount book. With the 2:1 offering, we felt we couldn't go wrong on this tour that is normally $100pp. WOW - - to think that we only paid $50 with the discount,... More

Definately the best part of our trip to Alaska. The drive from Base Camp was an adventure in itself,travelling thru streams, river beds & dessert like terrain, Tom (the owner) and our guide provided several photo opportunities, including spawning salmon. Knik Glacier is spectacular!! We kayaked among the icebergs, my first time EVER...it was amazing! Relaxed at Glacer Camp, sipped... More

Glacier Camp is something you don't want to miss as well as the many, many unique rock sculptures. He also has an... More
