Incredible guides and itinerary. This was our first trip with Austin Adventures but will not be our last. At the end of each day we were given an overview of the next day with tips on how to prepare. The excursions and views of Denali were exceptional, with so many extras and surprises from Josiah, Lea and Brian. We plan to travel with Austin Adventures again soon.

Great week in Glacier National Park
Just returned from a wonderful week in Glacier NP with Austin Adventures. this was my 6th trip with them, and they never disappoint. The scenery was fabulous; the lodges were amazing; the food was ample; and the guides were absolutely great. We hiked iconic trails; cruised Two Medicine Lake in an historic boat; rafted the Flathead River; and even rode chair lifts to the top of Whitefish Mountain. The guides, Steve Rodgers and Kady, took great care of us, and were so attentive and professional. Everything was fantastic, and I highly recommend them to all.

Glacier National Park Adventure
Glacier was an incredibly beautiful national park with amazing wildlife! Steve and Kady from Austin Adventures led us on some awesome hikes, made us delicious lunches, and surprised us with treats along the way. The lodges we stayed at and restaurants we ate at within the park were wonderful as well. It was a very memorable experience and one that I would highly recommend to anyone that enjoys an active adventure and the true beauty of nature!

We just returned from an incredible…
We just returned from an incredible Alberta hiking trip with Austin Adventures, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. The entire trip was beautifully planned from start to finish. We received exactly the right amount of information ahead of time so we felt prepared, and once we arrived, every detail seemed thoughtfully handled.
The guides were outstanding. They had a wonderful way of giving us the training and confidence we needed for each activity, whether we were canoeing, white water rafting, hiking to the glacier, or doing the glacier walk itself. They also somehow knew exactly when we were getting hungry — there was always plenty of food, from hot chocolate on the glacier to gourmet snacks in the middle of the river.
A special thank-you to Ben Glasgow, who always made me feel safe, was friendly and encouraging, and clearly knows the terrain inside and out. Jessica Nemeth was knowledgeable, calm, and always available whenever we needed guidance or reassurance. Lisa Heffernan was not only a rock expert, but also incredibly caring — she always seemed to be one step ahead, making sure I felt supported and comfortable.
We highly recommend Austin Adventures. In fact, we are already looking at one of their future trips to Iceland! By the way, we really enjoyed our fellow travelers!

Alaska multigenerational adventure
Our adventure was to Denali and Kenai Fjords NP. It was for my Grandson (17), son, and me(Grandmother 80). The guides (Lea, Jenny, David) were exceptional and well organized. There were many different activities. On the hikes there were options for difficulty. I did the 2.5 m hike and son and Grandson did 9 m. The scenery is spectacular with the plane trip around Denali and landing on the Glacier the highlight. The lodging was good and the food great. I would highly recommend Austin.

Amazing tour to Glacier National Park
My recent Austin Adventures hiking trip to Glacier National Park exceeded my already high hopes on all levels! The itinerary was outstanding in terms of the route, the awesome hiking tours (perfectly selected to cover different aspects of the park), and the additional fun activities like a boat ride on Two Medicine Lake, whitewater rafting on the Flathead River and the chairlift ride to the top of Big Mountain in Whitefish. The tour also included accommodations at three wonderful lodges (St. Mary Great Bear Lodge, Many Glacier Hotel and Lake McDonald Lodge), dinner at the Belton Chalet and time at St. Mary Village, Apgar Village and West Glacier. What really made the tour was the fabulous guiding by Steve and Kady! They made sure everything was seamless, from the first pick up at the hotel to the final good-bye at the airport. I really enjoyed the “red carpet” treatment, the lunches, the mid-day snacks on the silver tray and the souvenir map on the last day! Their great attitude and good humor really elevated the trip to the next level and I very much hope to be able to go on another trip with them soon!

Glacier Guides Steve R. and Kady H. are Great
I went on the Glacier Hiking/Biking adventure led by Steve Rodgers and Kady Hubschman. I cannot speak highly enough about both of them as guides. Their preparedness for our trip was matched only by the generosity of their spirit along the way. I will cherish the memories in Glacier for a long time to come. They know the park, they care about your experience, and they've got your back while you're in their care. They greatly enhanced my ability to take in what is some of the most gorgeous landscape I have ever seen. Awesome people and true professionals.
