Glacier Hike - the way it should be

Max, Frank and Kendra were awesome. Took the time to check if we were equipped right, got the team in place and ensured the pace was right for the whole gang. The info along the hike was good.
We are so glad we did this with Rockaboo and I’m gonna recommend to go with them anytime you get a chance to.
Eco-friendly, connected...

Our guides Sheb and Justin were very knowledgeable and great fun to be with during the entire duration of the tour.
The glacier walk is a once in a lifetime experience, and if you have the guts to hang over a 75 ft Crevasse, don’t think twice, just go for it! You will be in very capable hands.
You are bound to make great memories.
Informative and Safe

The Rockaboo guys (Wayne & Derek) were just wonderful and fun and made this amazing excursion even more memorable. This tour is a must if visiting the icefields!
"Intimate and vast. I could have stayed all day".

I was hoping to lose a bit of myself in the glaciers vastness. I did just that.
Very intimate experience and I was put at total ease from my guides attention and care.
His own love of the terrain provided an overall attitude of adventure, and he also provided an abundance of knowledge.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
