“I reached out to Revel prior to heading to Alaska to stay with friends. I am so happy I did! The high expectations I had were blown out of the water and they were a huge part of that. I got to hike Matanuska Peak and they happily arranged a last minute hike for me to Reed Lakes. Kierre and Emily were so amazing! I am so happy I got to see such special parts of Alaska and I learned so much. I can not recommend them enough and will for sure reach out to them again.”
