I opted for the kayaking tour of the Columbia Glacier. It was fantastic! The tour consisted of an orientation to kayaking, gearing people up, then taking the water taxi close to the glacier, followed by several hours of kayaking PWS and close to the glacier. I was hoping to get close to the terminus of the glacier, however, since it... More

Like good tourists, two senior couples reserved a kayak trip ahead of time and sent a substantial downpayment. We were forced to sign an agreement if we wanted to reserve a space which required payment in full and they kept our credit card number. On the day of the reservation, the ferry system was shut down because of high winds... More

I'm puzzled by this review for the following reasons. 1) We do not have a day trip that costs $300 a person. 2) In 23years I don't know of a single trip we've done when the ferries are shut down for weather. We are very conservative about weather and do not run trips if there are weather service advisories for... More

We booked the day Columbia Glacier kayak tour months before our trip, after reading the excellent reviews that it had on trip advisor, and it lived up to the reviews! Our guide was Ethan and he was excellent. We were lucky to be the only ones on the tour as it was the end of the season. We lucked out... More

We kayaked Columbia Glacier and it was an amazing day. We booked it the day before and the weather was so horrible that we had our doubts about how our day was going to be. But even with bad weather the experience is worth it and you don't know if the weather is going to change (Alaska weather!)! We started... More

Jonathon was our tour guide for the Valdez glacier kayak tour and he was great! Very professional, knowledgable and open for special requests. It was 50 degrees with light rain and fog, but honestly, we did not notice. The glaciers were so blue and the sceniery was beathtaking. Would recommend this day trip for anyone! More

I cannot say enough about this company & the owner. My nine year-old daughter had just been kicked off a duck flat excursion with Pangaea Adventures because she was wearing a boot & was on crutches. They had literally left my daughter & myself sitting on the side of the street. Not knowing what to do next, I suggested we... More

We took two trips with Anadyr, their Columbia Glacier and the Vladez Glacier kakaking Day trips. Both days were just great, both quite different.The Columbia glacier is all huge bergs, way back from the face of the glacier. The icegergs are all amazing colours from clear, through to blue, grey and black. We went out on their transport boat which... More

One of the best outings from our Alaska vacation, by far!! My husband and I are pretty avid kayakers, and this trip was incredibly unique and well-planned. Kate was our guide, and she was FANTASTIC. Very friendly AND knowledgable - and not "too cool" or condescending like some other guides we have experienced in Alaska. The icebergs were amazing to... More

We took the Valdez glacier kayaking trip and loved it. 6 hours for $110 of beautiful glacial kayaking is well worth it. Great for small kids as well because the water is perfectly calm. Lots of glacial and iceberg caves to explore and plenty of opportunities to walk on the icebergs also. More

We spent 5 hours kayaking around the glaciers with Anadyr Adventures. They provided great service and the trip was fantastic, although the weather wasn't too good. More
