We all loved this tour. It had to be rescheduled to the next night due to fog, and we were very grateful for the flexibility and for the safety concern. The equipment was excellent, from feet to head we were completely protected from the cold. The guides were great, and having hot chocolate and cookies while paddling among the icebergs is an experience we’ll never forget.
