Reviews
Our tour guide, Swede (I’m not entirely sure about the spelling, but we took the tour on October 13th, 2026), was fantastic! He is truly kind and passionate about his work. His time management was excellent, and he arranged the itinerary extremely well. Only two of us joined the DC Plane Wreck tour while the others went glacier hiking. Instead of leaving us to wait around while the others hiked, he took us to explore some beautiful surrounding spots. This thoughtful arrangement gave us an incredible bonus experience. On top of that, he made us feel completely reassured—he informed the plane wreck shuttle driver about us and promised to pick us up right on time. Thank you so much! I highly recommend this tour guide!
Great value and experience, would return with this company/guides. Comfortable and safe ride despite inclement weather. Beautiful spots visited.
Artic Adventures was the operator. The bus arrived late to the pickup stop, as the driver said that the company called him last minute the same morning as the other guide called out sick. He was messy and all over the place, did not know the itinerary, and told us that he had not done this tour since before Covid times. The weather was also horrible, windy and rainy and the minivan was going sideways on the road. The stops are really uneventful, the only good places is the last waterfall (go around it) and the Glacier walk. The plane wreck is not worth it.
The tour guide was a really great lady, very competent, and she took good care of us.
