Be a part of something unforgettable. Because the best moments are life changing ones.
We love our guests and sometimes it’s best to hear it firsthand. Don’t take our word for it. Hear it straight from the people who’ve been there, experienced it, and came back with memories that last a lifetime.
Do I need experience to swim in a glacier pool?
No experience is required. Your guide will walk you through everything and make sure you’re comfortable before entering the water.
How cold is the glacier water?
It’s extremely cold. You’ll be equipped with a dry suit and safety gear, allowing you to experience the water in a controlled and comfortable way. Guests are responsible for bringing their own warm gear. The dry suits will keep you dry, but won’t keep you warm.
What does a typical tour look like?
After check-in and a safety briefing, you’ll take a scenic helicopter flight to Knik Glacier. From there, you’ll spend time exploring the glacier on foot and swimming in melt pools, followed by a scenic return flight.
How physically demanding is the experience?
This is a moderate activity. You’ll be walking on glacier terrain and entering cold water, but the pace and level of activity are adjusted
Is it safe to swim in a glacier pool?
Yes. Safety is our top priority. You’ll be equipped with a dry suit and guided by experienced professionals who carefully select safe entry points and conditions.
How long do we spend on the glacier?
You’ll have approximately 1.5 hours on the glacier, which includes time for trekking, exploring, and your swim experience.
Can I skip the swim if I change my mind?
Yes. The experience is flexible—if you decide not to enter the water, you can still enjoy glacier exploration
