This was one of the highlights of our Alaska trip summer. It was quite the adrenaline rush! Definitely worth it. Have you ever been on a jet ski tour? We would love to hear about it! We were bummed we didn't get to capture GoPro footage since most of our gear was stolen during our airbnb break in, but glad we captured this on our iphones!
I've never jet skied and would love to try. Sorry you guys lost your gears, as a content creator thats the worst nightmare! Love your video, I do travel contents in Italy, ciao 🤗
Jet skiing is a lot of fun! We have only done it a couple times and feel like it’s a great way to see nature. Definitely our worst nightmare as a content creator to have so much of our stuff stole. Thanks for watching! We have never been to Italy and plan to there soon next summer.
Thanks so much for this video! We are wanting to do this excursion and were curious about how it all works, this video is exactly what I was hoping to see. Y'all did a great job with this, glad you had such an amazing experience.
So great to hear you’re going to book this! This sits at top 5 of most fun things we have ever done. Glad you found this video. Thanks for watching! Let us know how you like it ☺️🤙🏽
How amazing was that?! I think I would get emotional too. Things like that just remind us how tiny we are in this great big world! Thanks for sharing your adventures ❤
We enjoyed it so much! Despite the rain and not being able to fully see the glaciers, it was still pretty spectacular. Love that perspective. We are so tiny in this great big world 🌎 So much to be appreciative of, especially when we can get out an adventure
I am glad you got to have such a fun time after something so admittedly crappy happened. Though with the suits you had to wear. The Jet skis. And the cold weather, I am not entirely convinced that your stuff getting stolen wasn't part of some secret spy training program to see if you have what it takes. Such a beautiful part of the world that so relatively few people get to see. 🙂
It was a fun time after a crappy situation for sure. We are glad we decided not to skip it. You’re right, maybe it was a test after all 🤣😆😎 Agreed! Alaska is a unique place that not many people get to see. We felt thankful to have the opportunity to jump on these awesome jet skis. Thanks, mark for always making us laugh ☺️
Loved your videos of Alaska. We are planning a trip next summer. I was wondering if you saw just as much wildlife and beauty in the jet ski tour as you did on the Kenai Fjords boat tour? We are trying to decide if we need to do both or of the jet ski tour would suffice .
So excited for your trip!! We definitely saw more wildlife on the Kenai fjords boat tour. Hardly saw any on the glacier jet ski tour. We did see some, but it seems like the boat tour goes deeper into the fjords and glaciers and they know the exact spots to find wildlife. If you were to choose one, we recommend the boat tour since it’s longer and you get to get see more areas. Both are awesome adventures!
This was an isolated incident. We can share the general area publicly we were in. We just stayed south of this park by a few blocks. maps.app.goo.gl/n4W7RK5bYAALb9qN6?g_st=ic We are happy to email you the exact Airbnb if you want to send us an email at helenandtimtravel@gmail.com
Visiting AK in May. I have a couple of questions about this. First, thank you for sharing your adventures! I've been scouring youtube videos to help with planning because AK is so massive and so much to see and do, it can get overwhelming. And second, your attitude after the break-in is amazing. I'm so sorry that happened to you, but you really coped with it well and kept going. OK, now to the questions. I own a jet ski, and I sorta kinda really want to do this tour, but..... 4.5 hours - 2 hours on mine and I need to get off my rear for a break. My Sea Doo is smaller than the GTX. How comfy are the seats for that duration? How close do they let you get to the glacier on the Sea Doos? It looked like everyone was keeping a distance. I am sure for safety in case part of it breaks off.
Hello! How fun to be planning an Alaska trip. You will have a great time. We also have a 10 things to do in anchorage video too that may be helpful. It is a massive place with so many options. The break in was a major downer for sure but we tried to keep a good attitude but there isn’t much we could’ve done. Randomly we got a text from our Airbnb host today saying they may have caught then guy who did it and we are waiting for the detective to call us back. Now to your questions ☺️🙃 4.5 hours seemed to fly by. It wasn’t too bad since we took many breaks for us to regroup during our stops to take photos. Also, at times we were going so fast, we stood up during the long stretches of jet skiing. The jet skis were pretty comfortable, smooth to ride, and had heated handle bars We got pretty close to the glaciers enough…right up to where the small bits of glaciers were floating in the water. Always hard to capture the scale in a video. Definitely a safety issue to get any closer. A cool and intimate experience you wouldn’t get on a boat. It’s a pricey adventure, but totally worth every penny. Our fav thing we didn’t in Alaska!
Excited you are going next summer, Dylan 🤙🏽 Looks like unfortunately do not allow double ups/passengers with Glacier Jetski Adventures. They have a FAQ that says that and explains why: glacierjetskiadventures.com/faqs
Hey how did your Airbnb get robbed? Is this something common is Alaska where they know to target holiday rentals? It seems like the Alaska police are incompetent that they didn't deal with the issue immediately. Is this how they deal with tourist crime in general? I've stayed in areas / countries where the police are virtually on the side of the thieves because they hate the tourists in their town. Fairly concerning as we are staying in remote airbnb with family and leaving valuables while we do trips.
Not sure how common it is, but we think it was random act or the person had been watching the place since it was a newer rental and waited for the owners who lived upstairs to go out of town. There were many other police calls before us and we understood ours wasn’t urgent or life and death. We did have a detective assigned to our case and did get follow up and updates it seemed every few months on our case and they caught the guy about 9 months later. Took almost a year, but they finally charged him because he had stole from multiple places.
@@HelenandTimTravel it's just a little advice for future videos . Don't think anyone cares about what happened to a laptop and the obvious Police not being able to do much and obvious laws and situations everyone has gone through

Hey! Another amazing video.
Thanks for sharing with us. Loved watching. Do stay connected 😊🙋🏼♀️
Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching. Will do!
Tolles Video super
What a happy video. I will head towards something motoactive soon. Gulf jet ski? Colorado snowmobile? Big Bend Ranch dirt bike? Something.
Thanks, Vern!! Do it and we want to hear about it! Dirt bike in Big Bend Ranch sounds amazing. Colorado snowmobile would be awesome too.

Can you share the airbnb you stayed in, so I'll know not to book there or nearby?

I'm going in July summer 2023
