We had a great time exploring the glacier and made multiple stops at lookout points on the way there to take in all of the scenery. 10/10 would recommend, if we make it back to Alaska again in the future, we would definitely put this at the top of our list!”
Review of Lapland’s ice fishing, ice floating, and salmon BBQ adventure, with practical tips on price, clothing, timing, and suitability.

The ice-floating experience was great too. Worth a try. Though the water doesnt sip through, we could still feel abit coldness from the icy waters. Overall, it was a good experience.”
