Recommendations- helicopter glacier trek and ice climb in Juneau

[ireashmott]

Ten years ago we cruised to Alaska with NCL and will be going back again in 2024. Last time we went, we did a shore excursion of a helicopter glacier trek and ice climb in Juneau. Loved it and want to do the same again.

 

We are currently booked for May 2024 and there only seems to be short glacier tours, with no ice climbs, being provided by NCL. 
 

Recommendations for a private glacier trek and ice climb excursion in May?

 

If May is not good for an ice climb we can change our booking to October. 
 

Thank you!

We took a tour through the cruise line, but the company was North Star, very impressed, it was a great experience

I went with North Star this past July. Did the two-hour trek (two hrs on the glacier itself, 4.25 hrs total tour time) which doesn't have the rope climbing although we did do some short climbs with the ice pick and heel techniques. Their extended trek (5.25 hrs total tour time) has rope climbing down a longer/steeper slope if that's what you're interested in.
