点评:We originally signed up for a group glacier kayaking tour, but it turned into a private adventure—and honestly, we wouldn’t have had it any other way. It was hands-down one of the most unforgettable experiences of our trip to Alaska!
Our main guide, Ryan, was outstanding—deeply knowledgeable and incredibly engaging. He shared so much fascinating info about the area, from the behavior of local aquatic wildlife (salmon, rockfish, sea otters, sea lions, whales—you name it!) to the science behind glacier formation and the ongoing environmental changes. Every explanation felt like a mini nature documentary, made even better because we were living it in real time.
We were also lucky to have three other amazing guides along with us, and together, the four of them made us feel like royalty. They kept the energy high with constant humor, positive vibes, and genuine conversation. Each one made a real effort to connect with us and ensure we were having fun every step of the way.
The kayaking itself was a full 13.8 miles, with breaks at various scenic islands. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, its best when there’s a slight drizzle over harsh glare on a sunny day. One of the most memorable stops was at a beach right near Holgate Glacier. We climbed up a rock for a better view and were treated to hot mocha while watching massive chunks of ice calve off the glacier into the water with a thunderous roar—absolutely surreal.
This wasn’t just an outdoor activity, it was an experience layered with beauty, insight, and heartfelt hospitality. Huge thanks to Ryan and the entire crew at Miller’s Landing—we’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. If you’re thinking about booking this, stop thinking. Just go!
翻译:我们原本报名的是冰川皮划艇团体游,但后来变成了私人探险——说实话,我们不会选择其他方式。这绝对是我们阿拉斯加之旅中最难忘的经历之一!
我们的主导游Ryan非常出色——知识渊博,而且非常热情。他分享了很多关于该地区的精彩信息,从当地水生野生动物(鲑鱼、石斑鱼、海獭、海狮、鲸鱼——应有尽有!)的行为,到冰川形成背后的科学原理以及持续不断的环境变化。每一次讲解都像一部迷你自然纪录片,因为我们仿佛身临其境,所以更加精彩。
我们也很幸运有另外三位很棒的导游同行,他们四人一起,让我们感觉像皇室成员一样。他们用幽默、积极的氛围和真诚的交谈,让大家保持着高昂的热情。每个人都竭尽全力与我们沟通,确保我们一路都玩得开心。
皮划艇行程长达13.8英里,中途在各个风景优美的岛屿间休息。天气再好不过了,晴天里夹杂着阵阵细雨,阳光刺眼,真是美极了。最难忘的一站是霍尔盖特冰川附近的一处海滩。为了更好地欣赏景色,我们爬上了一块岩石,一边享用着热摩卡,一边看着巨大的冰块从冰川上崩落到海水中,发出雷鸣般的轰鸣——绝对超现实的景象。
这不仅仅是一项户外活动,更是一次充满美景、深刻见解和热情好客的体验。非常感谢Ryan和米勒登陆点的全体工作人员——我们一定会毫不犹豫地再次体验。如果您正在考虑预订,别犹豫了,赶紧出发吧!
