Our driver, Bismar, was on time and provided excellent service - he was friendly and knowledgeable. Highlights included stopping to see wildlife and arranging the boat tour around the glacier. We had plenty of time to walk the trails on our own. Highly recommend! Be aware that during high season, the cost to enter the park and for the boat tour are exorbitant compared to off-season.”
