    My son and I went on the Grand Knik tour with three landings and WOW! We absolutely loved it! Dylan was our pilot and he was the best! Besides being a great pilot, he told us all about the glacier and surrounding area. During the landings he walked around with us and explained everything. He even showed us what wild berries to eat and of course we tried them. The last landing on the ice itself was an out of this world experience. We spent almost two weeks touring Alaska and this was by far the highlight of the trip. I highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Alaska.

    We crafted our two week Alaskan vacation around this experience and it was the apex of our trip. It started with a super smooth helicopter ride out to the glacier where we were met by our guides Halle, Simon, and Tim. I can't stress this enough you could NOT ask for three better guides. They were absolutely phenomenal! They tailored the experience around our interest and experience (and maturity level to some extent). The guides took hundreds of photos and videos so we're could remain present in the moment and get the most is out the experience. They were all so much fun. We left our AARP cards behind and played like teenagers for three hours. Travis and team I want to thank you again for an incredible experience.

    One of the coolest experience ever! We went on a perfect weather day! It was truly amazing. And Zach the pilot was the best ever! I have told and shown my pics to everyone.

    What an amazing experience! Our pilot Brian was awesome with my elderly mother. Helping her in and out of the helicopter. He was our personal guide and was patient to hover over animals so we could take pictures. They pride themselves on safety! I really appreciate everything and the training we were provided to keep us safe. I highly recommend this company and you won't be disappointed.

    Glacier watering hole is open!  Ahhh

    Who doesn't want to try mushing at an Iditarod camp?! So fun. Trudy was on time and so friendly, sharing stories and her charger for the drive to the lodge. Greeted by a couple moose and checked in, fitted with boots and off the meet Conner our fab helicopter pilot. The team of dogs and our Mush captain, Seth the pirate (it was "Halloween") at the camp were fun, knowledgeable and ready to mush. Perfect! We all got to try it out for those that wanted to. Capped it off with the hike on Knik glacier to create a very memorable experience.

    This was absolutely the best experience! We did the paddle boarding on the glacier. Our guides Miciah (sorry do not know how to spell his name) and Simon were fantastic! They picked out a great spot for us. We really enjoyed that it was a private tour so we got to do basically what we wanted. We did it all, paddling, swimming and hiking. I love how we were able to just give them our phones and cameras so we could focus on the experience. I really can't say enough how great this experience was. Definitely a once in a lifetime thing. All of the staff we interacted with were wonderful. We can't recommend them enough!

    If I could leave more stars, I would. Truly an incredible experience from the hospitality at check in to take off and touch down. If you're in Alaska don't miss this opportunity! We did the helicopter tour with glacier landing and had the helicopter all to ourselves. Our pilot was awesome; making it feel like we were seeing this marvel with a friend and not a tour company. The views from the air and the glaciers are unexplainable and truly breathtaking. Don't skip this one while you're here!

    Want a helicopter tour of glaciers in Alaska? This IS the place. Located outside Palmer (which has a cute but small downtown) this place has cabins and offers some very cool possibly once-in-a-lifetime experiences like heli-hiking and heli-skiing complete with overnight accommodations and a private chef! We did the mild-mannered glacier helicopter ride stopping in Knik glacier. Seeing a glacier from above is WAY different from just seeing it from a ship or on a lower level field of ice. Military and day of discounts. Awesome!

    What an amazing experience! From Lauren the Helicopter pilot to all the dog sled staff. It was amazing being able to drive the dog sled. 10 out of 10 rating ! From landing on the glacier and drinking the water to all the great views. Highly recommend .

    Will is an awesome pilot, and Daniel was so much fun to ride with! We had an amazing time flying over the Glacier area and then sledding with the dogs! Playing with the dogs and puppies afterwards was such an awesome extra! I love how they were ALL so friendly and wanted pets and hugs, and gave us so many kisses!

    What an amazing experience! From the moment we were picked up from our hotel to the moment we were dropped off. Kevin, who drove us was very informative, prepared and helpful. He shared great stories, history and made an hour drive seem like 15 min. Once you arrive you are greeted and helped to get ready and prepared. Our pilot Stephen, was a great pilot and tour guide. He was very careful to take care of we old folks which was good as ice is slippery. We fly all over the Knik Glacier what an amazing view and experience. Thank you Stephen you made the flight and glacier come alive for us. Once we returned we got to hang out at the lodge. Which in itself was a blast. We met other thrill seeking enthusiasts, families and even an older gentleman traveling across Alaska on a Harley. As we sat and enjoyed the views, Eli one of the managers came and kept us company. We enjoyed a beer and awesome conversations. So much good conversation. We can not thank you ALL enough for such a wonderful once in a lifetime experience. You folks are amazing.

    Walking on the glacier

    Second time doing this adventure. Absolutely awesome time again. Dylan, our pilot, was terrific. He landed us on the glacier. Breathtaking! Will do this again

    Bring a water bottle to get glacier water!

Then walked over from the Marriott under ten minutes to the Mushing District where the Iditarod starts. We were early. Instructed to return at 9:45am when boarding begins. Our first stop was Ship Creek next to the Ulu knife factory. Ship Creek is known for salmon fishing. None present when we were there. We popped into the ulu knife factory for a quick visit. We'd purchased an ulu knife years back at the same store. Then it was off to various points of interest including a stop at Earthquake Park. Site of a devastating earthquake in 1964. The other highlight was a visit to the neighborhood of Turnagain to admire all the seaplanes. The deluxe tour was a great way to get an overview of Anchorage.

Prince was our tour guide and he was casual, knowledgeable and made history interesting!! Not only did he tell us all about important places, but he let us out to explore. We visited the ULU factory, the Captain Cook memorial, Earthquake Park, and a beautiful overlook where we saw the Chugach Mountains, Talkeetna Mountains and Denali (in the distance). Prince knew interesting stories and historical facts. We are tour directors here for the season and we learned a lot from him!

I booked the day before, the morning of the owner texted me to confirm that I would be picked up at my Airbnb, Billy texted me notifying me when he was on his way. He was kind, responsive, full of information, considerate, and willing to tailor the speed and details to the needs of the group. He truly made this trip enjoyable. Van ride to the glacier is about 100 miles, we stopped at a gas station about half way. We stopped twice for two photo opportunities, and then made our way to the glacier gift shop to sign waivers. Then drove down to the launch point of the trek. There are ample bathrooms down there. Billy did not accompany us on the glacier but that was okay, our guide at the glacier was super sweet and knowledgeable. I felt more than safe! You walk across a floating bridge to get your microspikes and then we spent about 2-2.5 hours trekking the glacier. You do spend most of the hike on the rocky surface, but we did a pretty steep climb on the blue ice to get to the top of our area, we drank glacier water (amazing) and then saw the base of the glacier which was stunning. Post trek we returned to the tent and met up with Billy, he had snacks waiting for us and then drove us up to the lodge for lunch. After lunch we made the drive back, and again Billy was willing to accommodate different drop off points.

    We had such a WONDERFUL day dog sledding with our guide Lori…read more Our day started with getting picked up at our hotel in downtown Anchorage. Hotel pickup was super helpful since we didn't rent a vehicle. Lori made a bathroom/coffee stop 45 minutes into the drive. We stopped at a local coffee shop which was so thoughtful instead of stopping at your typical gas station. Afterwards we arrived at our destination for the dog sled tour. We went during the winter and it gets very cold when you are moving on the sled! We are from Arizona so we didn't have snow boots or other items on hand. Luckily snow shoes, heavy gloves, beanies, etc were provided for us to change into so that we stayed nice and warm on the sled. We were paired up and got the chance to sit down and ride in the front of the sled which was perfect for taking videos and pictures. And the other person had the chance to stand up at the back of the sled. We warmed up with a delicious lunch at a nearby lodge and made our way back to Anchorage. Overall, we had such a great day thanks to Lori and the dog mushers. It was truly a one of a kind experience! Highly recommend 907 Tours.

The window seats at the tables are first come, first served, so that's something to keep in mind. The service was good, and everyone throughout the tour was very helpful and kind. The captain and crew were great and provided lots of interesting information about the surrounding area, wildlife, and glaciers. They also offered a tequila tasting when we reached the glacier area, with the tequila served over glacier ice, which was a unique touch. At the end of the cruise, they gave us a complimentary brownie, which was a nice little treat. Drink price and quality plus hot dog that we ordered were good. When booking online, we had the option to choose our meal, and we requested a gluten-free turkey club. Unfortunately, when our section was called for food, the gluten-free meal wasn't ready and took quite a while to arrive. Also the regular snack option included chips and a granola bar, while the gluten-free option came with two bags of chips instead. It would have been nice to have a little more variety for the gluten-free option. Overall, we really enjoyed the cruise, the scenery, and the wonderful staff. It was a memorable experience and I would recommend it.

I would have a staff member present for this awkward table assignment - we did call and went in person the day before to avoid such a debacle and were brushed off.

The trip was the perfect medicine to unplug me from an over-scheduled, over-programmed, and highly electronic career for a solid week. It pushed me mentally and physically, but never did I feel unsafe. I returned to work in a better frame of mind and with my whole body in a state of "a good kind of sore". Hats off to Don, and our guides (Sandra and Roz) who really made the stay wonderful. And, I never expected to be complimenting the camp food, but it was AWESOME!!! Sandra's breakfast burrito could be on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives!

I've travelled to all seven continents and have been on many adventure tours and treks over the years that have left me disappointed and wanting more, but this trip was definitely a trip to remember. As the name suggests, it is an extreme adventure trip that will push you physically and in some places mentally, especially since we had quite a bit of rain, and towards the end, some rain and sleet and a lot of wind, but if you're willing, it will be a trip you will not forget. Sandra (guide) and Roz (intern) picked me up from my hotel right on time along with the other members of the group before heading off to 3 days, 2 nights of sea kayaking. Through out our trip, we went white water rafting, hiking and ice climbing on the Matanuska Glacier, zip lining, and 2 days, 1 night of hiking along a mountain ridge line (I believe approximately 4600 ft at the peak) and back out through the valley. My group had 5 people, 1 guide (Sandra) and 1 intern (Roz) with group sizes maxing out at 6 people. As some of the other reviewers had mentioned, the guides were on the younger side (all relative of course, depending on your own age), however I didn't feel that they were inexperienced at all. Both Sandra and Roz had great energy and knowledge and never once did I feel that they didn't know what they were doing. They knew when and how to encourage each of us to get the most out of our adventure. The food definitely surprised me, as many nights we were in the wilderness, but you will certainly not feel like you're roughing it with the amount and quality of food. Without giving away any surprises, which there are at least one or two, the food is definitely top notch for this type of adventure trip. On our 6th day, we had an Alaskan style BBQ where Don, the owner came to join us. Leading up to the trip, Don replied to each and every one of my questions and concerns promptly, but for him as the owner to actually take the time to come out to meet our group and have dinner with us, chat and share stories showed us true Alaskan hospitality and definitely a sign of a great business owner. There are so many other highlights and people that made the trip great, from John Brown with Chugach Outdoor Center (white water rafting guide), Noah, who co lead the ice hike and ice climbing with Sandra, Ellie with her baked scones and cinnamon rolls, Mandy cooking the amazing Alaskan BBQ, and the Honey Bee Latte made by (forgot her name, but it was amazing). I would definitely recommend Exposure Alaska and their adventure tours for your trip to Alaska. It's a terrific way to experience the real Alaska and challenge yourself both physically and mentally and build friendships and experiences that you will carry with you for a lifetime. I will definitely be reaching out to Don and Exposure Alaska the next time I decide to head back to Alaska.
